As he tries to convince Angelica to be his mate, the other gods are tampering with his fate, each with their own agenda. Can he cope with the Mating Rite and protect the female he is falling in love with as the gods play havoc with his past, present, and future?Angelica Dark is instantly attracted to Varick, a white-haired, drop-dead gorgeous playboy. As much as she tries to resist the temptations he offers, her body demands his touch. Trapped and alone with him, she wants to believe he is a lunatic, but the events happening around her mean she cannot deny what and who he is. The gods and goddesses, ever meddling in the affairs on earth, force her into leaving his side to protect him. Unable to save Angelica from the demons with powers greater than his own, Varick is hurled into a fight between the powers that be and the powers that want to be.
