BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Layna discovered her love of reading at an early age. When she isn’t devouring salacious romance novels or writing, she enjoys losing herself in researching ancient history and mythology, weaponry, and hiking. She lives in Northern Ontario, with her husband and two daughters.
Layna is a member of the Romance Writers of America, and is a monthly contributor at 69 Shades of Smut.
BLURB
After
colliding with a stunning vision in white, retired Staff Sergeant Brent Daniels offers to drive the beautiful stranger to a hotel for the night, but instead discovers he’s with one very lost creature. He’s bewitched by her sinful curves, her dark and mesmerizing eyes, and the pull at his soul with each minute passing. Nevertheless, he can’t shake the feeling she’s hiding something.
Melpomene, daughter of Zeus, finds her handsome rescuer resembles the man who has continuously haunted her dreams. Before long, she’s in his arms, wanting more. Knowing their days are numbered, desperation leads her to reach out for help by an unlikely ally.
Just how far will these two lovers go, and what will they sacrifice to be together?

EXCERPT
“My name is Melp—Mel Pomene.” She’d nearly given
herself away. Zeus, her father, would have heard had she whispered her name.
Her father. Heavens, he’d turn the mortal realm upside down if he suspected she
was here. And right now, she desired nothing more than to stay a little longer.
With any lucky, I’ll return before he
notices.
“Well, Mel, it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Your last name is rather unusual. I assume you’re not from these parts?”
His question silenced any thoughts drifting through
her mind at that moment. A new kind of tension rose within her. She couldn’t
disclose her origins or who she was. Guilt settled in her stomach for leaving
her sisters behind, but she wasn’t given a choice. The Fates dropped her here,
only mentioning an experience for three days…provided Zeus didn’t find out.
Only the Gods knew what he’d do if he found her cavorting around without a
proper escort.
“Earth to Mel? Are you all right?”
“Yes, I am. I’m just thinking of home, which is
Greece. I’ve come to the United States for an adventure, it would seem.”
He chuckled before she’d finished speaking.
“What is so amusing?”
“The mere mention of seeking adventure after getting
lost is rather comical, nothing else, sweetheart.” He removed his right hand
from the wheel and petted her knee. The warmth of his hand stirred an
unfamiliar emotion within. This was the man from her dream. Those hands had
touched parts of her body no mortal would have dared, and here she sat, wishing
he’d do more than pat her.
