    About this series

    Athena Brkovich believes in true love.

    Young, successful, beautiful and wild, Mason and Athena Armada are a romance for the ages. They appear to have everything anyone could want.

    As money pours in, their lives become more reckless. Passionate and dangerous, blind devotion leads Athena to the brink of her senses and her love is tested in ways that even she could not conceive of as a partner to Mason’s sexual voyeurism.

    When Athena faces motherhood, her desire for peace and her troubled past cannot be contained. While she finds herself retracing her mother’s steps, a path she swore she would never walk, Athena fails the ultimate test from Mason and she is plunged into a shame that she has never known.

    Athena suffers the peril of her own self destruction and she must turn inward. The little light that keeps exposing her deepest need, is also the guide for her most treacherous journey yet.

    How far will Athena go to worship the man she has promised herself to?

    Book 3 examines jealousy, infidelity, infertility, and the burden of obligations. Athena must make choices between the vision and the appearance versus the truth and the heartache; choices that will determine her ultimate destiny in their fiery tale.

      Athena Brkovich believes in true love. Born into a blue collar family in 1968, young Athena and her sisters are sent away when their mother is hospitalized and their father is unable to care for them. The beginnings of trauma, separation, denial and suffering set Athena on her path. Brilliant, but naive, Athena refuses to grow up and become part of an adult world she doesn't trust. But as time unfolds, the guilt that swirls around her beloved sister Lejla, and the blossoming desire for her soulmate Niko, plunge Athena into confusion. When circumstances bring them all together in high school, betrayal threatens to engulf Athena in shame and hatred. No matter how many walls Athena builds to escape her painful past, she must confront the person she is becoming in a society where only the strong survive. Compelling, and at times tragic, Book 1 explores the themes of childhood trauma, family conflict, alcoholism, and teenage love. Despite the darkness, Athena struggles to follow the little light inside herself, guiding her to forgiveness, peace, redemption, and the ultimate prize, love.

      Athena Brkovich believes in true love. Athena approaches adulthood like a paint-by-number - following the directions - but will her future become the masterpiece she dreams of? After high school, Athena quickly learns that nothing in life comes for free. The hurdles Athena jumps to escape her father’s shadow and her family’s impoverished past land her in London, Ontario. Athena has to face her insecurities about not fitting in at the Ivory tower of Western. Enter Mason Armada. Charismatic, handsome and athletic, it is love at first sight. Four years of dental school culminates in an education that covers more than how to fix teeth. Athena is becoming someone she has always imagined, the princess in her own fairy tale. Still, she isn’t sure she can pin her hopes on the irresistible playboy that has stolen her heart. But when Mason’s promises feel as false as her self-belief, Athena must choose between the man she wants to marry and the man she is with. Book two delves into the themes of romantic love, social status and the struggle for independence. Immersing herself in a misguided society, Athena wades into the darkness, trusting that her prince will come and save her.
