The goddess Nemesis has many names but her current one, Ilsa, is the one she prefers in this current time. Many years ago, the goddess Rhea asked Ilsa to hide and raise Rhea's son, Zeus, with a promise that if Ilsa completed the task, she would be rewarded. Ilsa did exactly what she was told, but when Zeus left to defeat his father, he returned with scorn and used his own power to trap Ilsa in a cave with no way out. Then Hades came to Ilsa with a bargain she was unable to refuse; in return for her freedom, she is to collect souls and return them to Hades for retribution. Unfortunately, Ilsa's need for vengeance leads her to make a bargain with a dark wizard where she blindly does his bidding to collect a vial of blood from one of Themis' Zodiac Warriors.

For 300 years, ever since dark magic was used on him, Kane Montague, Themis' Scorpion Warrior, has been dealing with the poison within him. Between the poison and the one woman who got away, the pain is enough to bring Kane to his knees. He also works for a deep-cover group in MI6, which is why he joined the elusive Ilsa on a fact-finding mission. After one night of wild passion with her, Kane woke up drugged and alone. His search for Ilsa has come up empty, until one of his brothers spots her outside a club and they create a plan to catch and interrogate her. But once he has Ilsa in his arms, the chemistry between them explodes. But the secrets Ilsa keeps could destroy them both.

This second book in the Zodiac Warrior series is just as powerful and sexy as the first with a twist of Greek Mythology that is exciting and fun. A fabulous read!
