Himeros is one of the erotes, an aspect of Eros, and as such it is his duty to answer the call of sexual desire whenever a human needs him. But he has been living among mortals too long and his interest has waned. When he decides to accept one last call he finds a woman who is unique. A woman who encapsulates the whole human experience in her body, and her soul. Has he finally found the one with whom even a god of desire could find fulfilment?
Forever, after all, is such a long time to be alone.
Aphrodite Calling is the second in the Gods of Love series of stand-alone novellas featuring the erotes (aspects of Eros) as a common theme. The series began with the Best Book of 2011 nominated menage a trois romance, Platinum Passion (Gods of Love #1).
