SOFT IRON
by Megan
Slayer
GENRE: Contemporary
Paranormal Erotic Romance
BLURB:
Bia is the goddess of strength and compulsion, but those traits
have her trapped in iron. A simple kiss could break the curse, but who wants to
kiss a statue? Especially a statue of a woman stabbing a man in the heart? She
knows better than to hope her celestial mate will find her, but what if her
hopes are justified?
Oliver, a very quiet, geeky guy, knows his way around fabric and
fashion. He excels at his job of dressing mannequins for storefronts, but he's
lonely. When he sees the statue of Bia, he's smitten. She's everything—strong,
confident and sexy—everything he wishes to be. What will happen if the shy man
overcomes his fears and gives in to his heart's desire? He just might be able
to harness the power of the goddess.

“How did this happen? I’m free.” She
kept her knees together and folded her hands on her lap, bunching the fabric to
hide her nudity. “The curse? What happened?”
“I’d say you found the person who
could be your celestial mate—the one you’re meant to be with forever,” Zelus
said. The door opened. Kratos, Andy, and Cam entered the room. Kratos’s eyes
widened. “This is a great day. Now we’re only missing Nike.”
“We’ll find her,” Andy said. He slid
an arm around Kratos. “We will.”
“How do you feel?” Kratos knelt
beside Bia. “How were you freed?”
“I was getting to that,” Zelus said.
He rolled his eyes. Beside him, Camden shrugged.
“Oliver. The lovely human.” She bit
back a smile. “He was kind to me. He kissed me.”
“He was?” Kratos shared a glance
with Zelus. “Oliver. We had a feeling.” He nodded. “Since Oliver has lifted the
curse, there is a chance you two are celestial mates.”
“Zelus said that,” Bia said.
“But this transformation is
temporary. The hard part is next.” Zelus folded his arms. “You have to convince
Oliver to fall in love with you.”
“I don’t know,” Andy said. “It
shouldn’t be too hard. He seemed pretty enamored with her when we showed Bia as
a statue.”
Bia clasped her hands together and
smiled. When she looked at Oliver, even as a memory, she warmed all over. The
rage she’d been known for—the reason for her being imprisoned in the iron—
melted away when she thought about him.
“Andy, he was doing his job.” Kratos
stood. He sighed and tilted his head to the side. “He’s here to dress her. Or
he was. He talks to the statues. Maybe he is her celestial mate, but what if he
was just being nice?”
Bia clutched the fabric tight to her
body and jumped to her feet. “Then why not let him decide?” She stepped up to
her brother. She’d suppress her natural urge to use her might against him, but
she wasn’t above using force if the need arose. “The curse was broken— for
however long, I don’t know—but it was broken. By him.”
