Thief of a Goddess Heart — Colleen Love

Ivy Jones' ordered world is turned upside down when an ancient spell takes possession of her life. And when matters take a turn for the worse, it's up to ex-Navy SEAL and private investigator Dane Knight to get to the bottom of the mystery. Colleen Love pens an exciting fantasy romance in Thief of a Goddess Heart.

Ivy Jones has had a challenging life. She's learned to distrust men, and sworn off the male population. Even her cotton-candy pink chopper is a not-so-subtle defiance of all things masculine.

Excavating in an ancient temple, Ivy has the good fortune to make the find of a life time -- an intact and perfect Athena. But the statuette is more than it appears, lying in wait, to be discovered by a believer of the Goddess herself. It takes possession of Ivy and life begins to take on some unexpected twists. Then The Athena is stolen.

Dane Knight knows trouble when he sees it. As a Navy SEAL turned Private Investigator, he has encountered more than his fair share, and has sworn off taking any new cases -- until the theft of The Athena is brought to him. He's drawn into the assignment, unable to resist, especially after he meets Ivy Jones, the Museum's Head Curator. Dreams haunt him, dragging him deeper into the case. He begins to peel back the layers, and soon discovers there is more to the case than a mundane theft.
