The Aphrodite Touch

Author(s): Rosemary Gemmell

Location(s): Cyprus

Genre(s): Romance, Magical Realism

Era(s): Contemporary

This is the first of three novellas set in Cyprus

The mischievous goddess of love, Aphrodite, and her lover, Adonis, play a game with tourists to their Mediterranean island of Cyprus each spring and summer. Choosing a couple who might benefit from their special kind of assistance, they aim to bring prospective lovers closer together, overcoming inhibitions, or anything holding them back from commitment.

In this first novella, Carla hopes that ten days on the romantic island of Cyprus will finally progress her relationship with reserved Scottish boyfriend, Jamie, to a full physical commitment. Or prove that they have no future together.

But they had reckoned without the intervention of the goddess Aphrodite and her lover, Adonis. Will Aphrodite awaken Jamie’s hidden depths and allow him to return the passion that Adonis senses in Carla?
