Casey Simopolous is trying to make her move to her deceased grandmother's hometown a permanent one, but so far all she has done is work herself to death. During the day, she runs the local bookstore, which she loves dearly, and at night, she works at a strip club waiting tables. Recently she has been feeling a little rundown; she isn't sleeping well and hasn't been able to eat. One night at the club, her symptoms are peaking to a point where she becomes dizzy, and a very large handsome man comes to her rescue. Later she is able to save him when he is attacked by creatures that can't be real. Casey takes him home to heal from his wounds and ends up experiencing an almost one-night stand. She has no idea how much her world is turning upside down.

Theron, descendant of Heracles and leader of the Argonauts, has followed his future Queen and wife to a human strip club and for the life of him he can't figure out why she is there. As he carries her out of the club, they are surrounded by daemons sent by a Goddess to destroy the future Queen of Argolea so she can rule their realm. Theron uses the last of his power reserve to send his fiancé home, which leaves him vulnerable to the daemons. Then a human woman comes to his rescue, scares off the creatures and takes him to her home to heal. The emotions she evokes in him are dangerous and impossible to ignore until he sees her mark.

Elisabeth Naughton's MARKED gives an incredibly fresh spin on Greek Mythology that is full of humor, action, passion and a storyline that keeps you from putting down the book. I'm totally hooked!
