Wine and Gods — Candice Bundy

In a city plagued by darkness and despair, Erin's destiny takes an unexpected turn when a treacherous hike in the Colorado mountains leads her to the brink of death-and into the arms of a golden-skinned god. Dionysos, the enigmatic deity of wine and madness, bestows upon Erin powers beyond her wildest dreams, igniting a fierce determination to reshape the corrupt metropolis she calls home. But as Erin learns to navigate her newfound abilities and the intoxicating allure of the gods, she discovers that the man she once danced with in the firelight is none other than Blaine York, the city's iron-fisted governor and her sworn enemy. Despite their opposing roles, an undeniable attraction simmers between them, blurring the lines between love and rivalry. Erin soon finds herself caught in a web of forbidden desire and conflicting loyalties as she fights alongside Blaine to uplift the city from its daemon-infested depths. With each passing day, the sexual tension between them grows more intense, threatening to consume them both. But Erin can't help but question Blaine's true motives-is his affection genuine, or is she just another pawn in his quest for power? As an ancient threat emerges from the shadows, Erin must navigate a treacherous landscape where gods, demi-gods, daemons, and mortals collide in a battle for dominance. With the fate of her city and the lives of those she holds dear hanging in the balance, Erin must confront her own darkness and decide where her loyalties truly lie-even if it means sacrificing everything she's fought for. In Wine and Gods, the second installment of the Caught Between Worlds series, author Candice Bundy weaves a captivating tale of passion, power, and redemption. Prepare to be swept away in a world where the line between love and madness is as thin as a razor's edge, and where the fate of a city rests in the hands of a woman torn between two worlds.
