The pre-dawn mist clung to the shores of the West Sea, where Simon Riley, the bastard prince of Crete, waited in the shadows. His hazel eyes, sharp as a warrior’s blade, scanned the idyllic scene of bathing nymphs. Zeus’s command echoed in his mind: capture one. Among the laughter and waves, a figure in a cloud-pink chiton caught his gaze—graceful, ethereal. Driven by duty and a decade of heartbreak, Simon moved with blinding speed. He snatched the beauty from the shore, fleeing into the deep woods, unaware that his prize was no nymph at all, but a trap set by fate.
