Passion's Apprentice

Passion's ApprenticeFive years ago, master mage Raven snared Natasha in a spell, then cast her out of her apprenticeship and his bed. Every year Raven comes to her to renew the spell between them. His touch awakens the passion she cannot deny and the yearning for magic once again.  As the spell winds to a close, Natasha must convince Raven that only together are they complete. Sacrificed to EcstacyThe gods have abandoned the world and their people.
It is prophesied that only a virgin's willing sacrifice can reawaken Vashon, the god of fertility, returning him and his blessings to a suffering world. Rayan, drawn to Vashon's temple and saved by his priestess, is willing to fulfill the prophecy. Common-born and inexperienced, Rayan fears she won't be enough to satisfy a god, let alone one whose marble likeness broadcasts virility for the world to see.
Determined to save those who have saved her, Rayan is about to discover that an open heart and willing body will reap pleasures that transcend the boundaries between mortal and heavenly.
