Colton Stone is a newly traded tight end whose reputation is as battered as his football helmet. When he receives a vacation invitation from his new teammates, he accepts. There he collides with Dr. Lillian Morgan, a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon, and doesn't know what to think.
A widow with two children, Lilly is looking forward to her friends' wedding. When she meets Colton Stone, his arrogant attitude only makes her long for the love she took for granted. Lilly struggles between letting go of her perfect past for an uncertain future.
Strange events occur, out of the realm of normal consciousness. When black energy touches their world Colt and Lilly become the pawns of the immortal Greek gods. Is the love developing between them natural, or part of a larger prophecy?

Colt’s body
temperature heated until his helmet, now that of a Trojan, melted and became
part of his skull. Painful, thick, fire plumes ignited from the sides of his
head and curved toward the sky, until they solidified in a solid line down the
middle of the helmet. Black snake-like smoke wafted up from the earth and
encircled his ankles and wrists, locking him into place.
The smoke turned
into bindings and massaged tentacles over his chest and phallus.
He looked over
at Lilly, who now knelt helpless as her skin became dusky, then turned a
brilliant shade of blue. However, the color became an iridescent hue that
reminded him of something just outside the confines of his mind. Her skin
bubbled, separated, and formed into thousands of compact hairs. Small points
protruded from her shoulders and down her arms until they freed themselves from
the surface of her skin, as she screamed. Several long, hollow shoots grew,
lengthening into the elegant, arching rods, as more buds sprouted from them and
turned into thready feathers. As the feathers lengthened, green and blue eyes
opened in intervals. At a screech of transformation, Lilly turned into a peacock,
whose tail plumed out in a perfect fan. A feathered diadem lifted from her
skull and the beautiful eyes all blinked at him. He wanted to mate with her,
devour her, possess her, and bellowed out an unearthly warrior battle cry.
Breaking his bonds, he charged at her.
About the Author:
Award-winning author, Jeny Heckman, was born in Bellingham, Washington, and was the youngest of two daughters. She met her husband, Jeff, in August 1992, and eloped three months later, at Magen’s Bay, on St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.
She wrote her first book, the Catch, in a few short months but took several years before she gained the courage to self-publish it at her son’s urging, and her love for writing began.
In 2018, Jeny knew her next project would be a series that showed adults could have adventures in the paranormal-fantasy genre too. So, she created the Heaven & Earth series, a story of doomed Greek gods and their only salvation, their modern-day descendants. Her first book of the series, the Sea Archer, was immediately picked up by the New York publishing house, the Wild Rose Press, and won, “Best in Category” from the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards.
In the year 2020, Jeny released, Dancing Through Tears, a short story from the anthology, Australia Burns: Volume Two, highlighting the Route 91 massacre from the perspective of one family at the concert, and at Mandalay Bay. She also intends to release, the Warrior’s Progeny, and Dee’s Cornucopia, in 2020, continuing the Heaven & Earth Series.
Jeny lives in Washington State with her husband of over twenty-eight years.
