Huxley Abelard lives and fights alongside the immortals of the Blue Hills as a human, but he's always felt something...more. A prophecy foretells that a mortal will ascend to become a god in the Underworld, but Hux's wicked past could cost him the throne and the sexy doctor who haunts his days and nights. He can't imagine a decent woman wanting a man who has done the things he's done to survive. Doctor Dani-Lee Whitehill has loved and lusted for Huxley since the first moment she laid eyes on him. Unfortunately, he's made it quite clear that, although he's attracted to her, he'd rather cut off his male parts than get them anywhere near her. She's willing to play by his hands-off rules, but desire may quickly erode her patience and when it does, Hux could be royally screwed.
