When I went to my neighbor's apartment to investigate strange sounds, I never expected to fall through a portal into another world. Yet here I am, a stranger in an even stranger land...and I'm stranded. In this world, might makes right, men carry swords, and gods walk the earth. Within minutes of arriving, I’m enslaved.Fun place.How do I get home? GREAT question. Wish I had an answer.The one person that might be able to help me is also the one person I want to throttle most. Aron, Lord of Storms, Butcher God of Battle, is my new companion. Or rather, I'm his. As Aron's anchor to the mortal realm, I'm the one that's supposed to be guiding him through his exile in the mortal world.Ha. Joke's on him. I know nothing about this place.But Aron and I have a common goal - get home. And we're bonded - anchor and god - with a bond unlike any other. So we travel together. We bicker. We bathe together. We fight our many, many enemies together. And sure, he’s a god, but he’s also an arrogant jerk. Brawny, smoking hot, irresistible jerk. I should want nothing to do with him. I certainly shouldn’t want to do things to him.Mortals and gods don’t mix. We stick to the plan and ignore our attraction. Focused, with one goal in mind. One task. One goal.Focused.I—oh heck, I’m going to end up kissing him again, aren’t I?

"Do not address her," Aron growls, and I can see his hand clench on one arm of the throne. "She is mine."

"l am going to be watching you closely. If you feel threatened or worried, simply invoke my name and I will slaughter all close to you."

"Aren't you mine, Faith? We're connected in every single way."

"My companion. My woman. My anchor. My Faith. I will protect your life with my own."

"I won't be the same. He won't be the same. He won't know what it means to make the rain stop for a starving farmer and his wife. He won't know what it's like to race away from a crumbling citadel and have glass picked out of his back. He won't know what it's like to hold you close."

"I told you once that you're my heart, Faith, and I mean it. You've shown me a different way of looking at things, and not just because you like to argue."

"If you worry that I will send you away, the answer is 'never," Aron says. He holds me tighter. "You're not leaving my side. I won't let them part us."

"Remember that you belong to me," he says in a low voice. "And I do not give you permission to die."

"You are my anchor. For now and forever."
