Thirteen Nights — Sabrina Garie

Book one in the Divine Temptation series.

Annie's always been different. An empathic Amazon, she hides her emotional anomaly beneath legendary fighting skills. Not wanting to pass on her genetic disorder, she's always avoided the Thirteen Nights Ritual -- the Greek pantheon warriors' annual breeding rite. Months from thirty, she's duty-bound to participate. When she meets Tai, who inflames her body and nurtures the gentleness she's had to keep secret, thirteen nights of pleasure don't seem nearly enough.

As a half human, Tai has survived by being smarter and more lethal than his brethren. While the male warriors accept him for his achievements, the Amazons never give him a second look. Until Annie, whose smile is warm and real and whose body shudders with desire -- for him. Determined to have her, he hacks into the Thirteen Nights database and rearranges the pairings to make Annie his partner.

But Tai's actions are forbidden, subject to death. To stay together, they must take on the Greek pantheon.
