Fantasy Erotic Romance

When Aphrodite is forced to marry the grouchy, crippled Hephaestus under the orders of the King of the Olympians, she is unable to voice the truth of her protests to the marriage. Her excuses fall upon deaf ears, but then why would they listen. Everyone benefits from her marriage to Hephaestus, except Aphrodite. She is not as other gods or daemons, she is one of the first, the spirit of erotic love trapped in an immortal form and her objections to the marriage are not the reasons everyone believes them to be.

Hephaestus has always been the outcast of the Olympian family since an accident twisted his leg and made him a cripple in his youth. He is none too pleased when his father Zeus comes to him with a request: Marry Aphrodite. What the King of the Gods commands of him, Hephaestus will do, even if it’s giving up on his dreams of love to be tied to Aphrodite for eternity. But it doesn’t end there, the King of the Gods last ultimatum is fidelity to the marriage. Hephaestus is stuck with a self-centered, unhappy, and vain goddess who is in-love with another, a goddess that he desires yet refuses to touch.
