Book description
A Greek myth's curse involving two young lovers unfolds in sensual
Renaissance Italy. It is the dawn of the Italian Renaissance. A handful
of women painters and sculptors emerge from the male-dominated middle
ages to stand out among the crowd. A promising young painter, Gia Vessa,
has just moved to Rome after the death of her father and immediately
catches the eye of a handsome, wealthy man who seeks to become her
benefactor. But what else will the sensually dark man want from her that
she'd be more than willing to give? Handsome as the Devil himself, the
affluent art collector, Pietro Scarabassi has a secret. For thousands of
years his spirit has waited to find the soul of Ciri, the young woman
who gave away what he felt was rightfully his-her virtue-to some
unworthy whelp. Now that he has finally found her manifested into the
human form of Gia Vessa, Pietro will stop at nothing to destroy her and
her lover. Trapped inside a stone pillar that was once part of a Grecian
temple of Venus, Zander has witnessed lovers worship each other and the
goddess for centuries as he waited to be freed. Finally the day has come
and he is able to use the few supernatural gifts the gods have bestowed
upon him, but he must determine who houses the soul of his lover, Ciri.
Once he finds her, he must foil the plans of their enemy, slay the
demigod in human form and end the curse forever. Born and reared in
Southern California, Genella deGrey longed to be your typical blonde,
tanned, surfer girl but failed miserably. Unable to sit idle without
falling asleep, she embarked upon several artistic endeavours. Make-up
and set dressing for the entertainment industry, Resort Enhancement for
The Walt Disney Company and writing sexy historical romance top the list
of her favourite activities. A consummate closet goth and amateur music
and (red) wine enthusiast, she is also a hopeless romantic awaiting the
arrival of her very own Mr Romance/Soul Mate with whom to share the rest
of her life.
