Sick and tired of shouldering the blame for the Trojan War,
the goddesses Hera, Venus and Athena come up with a plan to
get Achilles' attention off the Trojans and onto something
a little more pleasant. Something like a woman, a lover.
Venus comes up with a plan to transport a modern woman from
Tulsa, Oklahoma...a city Venus knows well...to the ancient
world and into the path of the most virile Greek of them
all. Venus chooses Katrina "Kat" Campbell as a perfect foil
for Achilles, but her plans are thwarted when Kat and her
best friend Jacky are killed in a car crash. The Goddess of
Love is devastated as she watches their souls depart their
bodies. Then she comes up with a brilliant idea -- she calls
to their spirits and traps them in orbs.
Athena and Hera are less than pleased when Venus shows up,
not with one living mortal woman, but the spirits of two
dead ones. However, when the goddesses come upon the bodies
of a Trojan princess and her servant in Hera's temple,
Venus convinces the others to transfer the modern souls of
Kat and Jacky into the bodies of princess Polyxena and
Melia, her handmaiden.
"Holy s***!" is understandably the reaction when Kat and
Jacky awaken in the bodies of the two murdered Trojan
woman. The goddesses have a lot of explaining to do before
Kat and Jacky fully accept their fates. So Venus, Hera and
Athena make a deal. They'll return Kat and Jacky to their
own time, complete with new bodies, if they perform one
tiny service -- put an end to the Trojan War. Easy peasy.
Kat's part of the assignment involves seducing Achilles and
getting him to adopt a "make love not war" attitude.
Jacky's is to act the part of the murdered hand maiden.
Achilles is just a man, after all, and Kat and Jacky both
have some experience with men to fall back on.
Kat may think herself more than a match for Achilles, but
the living Greek legend is a little more man than she's
used to. She has no intention of becoming too attached to
the warrior. After all, once the bloody war is over she's
on her way back to Tulsa and her own time. So, in a
nutshell...learn to curb her tongue around the ancient
warriors and act as subservient as she can possibly manage.
Seduce Achilles, help him tame his berserker rage. Put an
end to a war that has been raging for 10 years. Don't fall
in love. Easy peasy.
P.C. Cast just keeps getting better and better and
she was pretty good to start out with. Funny and inventive,
she winds Greek mythology, literature and history into an
outrageously funny romance.
The Goddesses have had it with the Trojan War. So much
devastation—all because of some silly male egos. The worst
of the bunch is that cocky, handsome brute Achilles. But
the only way to stop a man like Achilles is to distract
him with something far more pleasurable than combat…
Enter Kat, a modern girl from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
Goddesses transform her into a Trojan princess, having no
doubt that she’ll capture Achilles’s attention. But can
her independent spirit match the unquenchable fire of his
epic rage? Goddess only knows…
