About ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE WITH…A GOD?
Trapped for decades, a powerful god seeks freedom . . . and revenge. But the only thing that can save him is the passion of a woman's touch . . .
Emma Keane is your average city girl trying to get a date. There's just one thing holding her back: the disembodied male voice speaking to her through her mind. Sound kind of crazy? Maybe. But crazy turns downright deadly when the voice persuades her to travel to the wilds of the Mayan jungle. There she will free his body-his incredibly hot, muscled, naked body.
Humans are so frail, so undisciplined, so susceptible to love. And when this ancient being connects with Emma, the feelings she sparks drive him utterly mad. Protective, keep-her-close, never-let-her-go kind of mad. Which might not be such a bad thing because from the moment the beautiful, passionate Emma unshackles his body, they are hunted at every turn. Now he'll have to do everything in his power to keep her safe. But will it be enough?

Excerpt from
Accidentally in Love With…A God? by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff (10/29)
With his golden face beaming, the man smiled as he stroked
my sopping wet hair and cradled me against his warm, smooth chest. “I love this
dream,” I said with a breathy voice, then stretched my arms above my head,
gazing happily into the most striking set of luminescent, turquoise green eyes
I’d ever seen.
To boot, they belonged to a breathtaking, masculine face, a
face one would expect to see on the cover of a magazine named something like, I’m Way Too Hot To Be Your Man, or In Your
Dreams, Honey.
Oh, yeah. Without a doubt, I’d topped myself this time.
Sculpted cheekbones, thick dark lashes, chiseled jaw, and lips so full they had
to be meant for kissing or eating something really juicy. He was way hotter
than the specimen of perfection from my last dream, and bonus, he didn’t have
that scary vibe. I reached up and ran my fingertip along the ridge of his
hard-lined warrior nose.
“Emma, what in the name of the gods’ creation are you
doing?” he scorned. “We really don’t have time for your immature little
fantasies. We’re in the middle of a crisis. Do you not remember?”
I blinked and slowly moved my eyes from side to side.
Jungle? I was in the jungle. And my clothes were wet. Come
to think of it, for a dream, I didn’t feel so hot. My lungs burned, my body
felt like it’d been chewed up, and my head was throbbing. So aside from the
perfect man with long, damp, wavy black hair holding me in his arms, none of
this felt like a dream. It felt—
“Holy Mother!” I pushed myself away and rolled into the
dirt, pointing in disbelief. “Wha—you—you—?”
“Ah…so eloquent as always, my sweet. It is astounding—you
actually have a college degree, yet cannot find better words.” He pushed
himself up off the ground.
As he rose, my heart stopped, started, and then went into
overdrive. His legs and spine straightened into a towering mass of unforgiving
muscles. With shoulders like a lumberjack and thick, powerful thighs, I didn’t
know if I wanted to run away or climb him like a tree. He was utterly enormous.
Jolly Green Giant enormous. Except, obviously, not green. More golden brown. He
was a gorgeous, towering mass of golden brown perfection.
No. Definitely not a
cave-dwelling, wart-infested troll. Great. Just great. Now I knew I wasn’t
crazy—Guy was definitely real—but now I also knew I was in way over my head. He
was gorgeous.
I stood in awe, my mouth gaping as my eyes attempted to
register every rope of muscle, every capacious curve packed with power. Christ,
he had to be at least seven feet tall.
“Six nine, actually,” he said, guessing my thoughts.
“This can’t be possible,” I whispered, my eyes continuing
to dart up and down the length of his body, stopping right on dark trail of
hair that started just below his navel and continued down, down, down to his
enormous beast of a—“Oh! You’re naked.” I turned sharply, but only to stop
myself from reaching out to touch it. No man could be that…that…endowed. Wow.
“This can’t be happening.” I covered my face.
“Emma,” he moved behind me, placing his powerful hands on
my shoulders. A jolt shivered its way through my body.
I was wrong about the vibe. Way wrong. This man, or
whatever he was, radiated hazard. He should come equipped with a set of
blinking lights or flares. He was—“Bad. Very, very, bad,” I mumbled, pinching
the bridge of my nose.
And pathetically, after everything that had happened, all I
could think about was this naked, hard-bodied, glorious “man” who’d just
permanently seared his image inside the storage compartments of my female DNA.
All men, from this day forward, would have to survive a mental side-by-side
comparison against him. They’d all lose.
Then a part of my brain, which was now marinating in a pool
of whatever hormonal overload he’d triggered, was trying to tell me something
important. It wasn’t ready to capitulate and hand over the keys to the Emma
kingdom.
Ah…there it is.
“Don’t touch me!” I swiveled sharply, pushing his hands from my body, pointing
one angry finger in his face. “I asked you for one simple thing! One!”
The corners of his delicious lips curled as he arrogantly
flipped his dark, wet hair over his bronzed shoulder. “Exactly. You asked.” He
took one bold step forward, well within my personal-space bubble. Clearly, he
was trying to intimidate me with his endless ripples and naked body. How sad.
It was totally working, which made me even madder.
He bent down to meet my glare, his nose inches from mine.
“But I didn’t agree. Did I? In fact, my exact words were, ‘I. Will. Not.
Promise.’ Sharp emphasis given on the not, little girl.”
He so had this coming. I lifted my knee, thrusting squarely
in his groin. The almost-seven-foot brawny male fell to his knees cupping
himself.
“I am not a
little girl. Emphasis on the not…

Votan, God of Death and
War Gets a Makeover
by Mimi Jean
Pamfiloff
That’s right. The God of Death and War is getting a sexy
makeover. Why does he need one? Good question. He doesn’t! But what if you had
the chance to waive a magic wand and make your dream man just a smidgeon
dreamier, a tad more sizzling, and a hair more alpha-manlier? Would you do it? Why the hell not! That would be like saying
no to those chocolate sprinkles on that sundae.
And hey, and let’s be honest, Votan was my first creation in
the Accidentally Yours series. He’s original awesomeness—overbearing, hotter
than an apple pie fresh from the oven, and nearly indestructible at seven feet.
He’s super concentrated divine masculinity. But he did have one small handicap:
me!
ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE WITH…A GOD? was only the second novel
I’d ever written (and my first if you count that the story is an adaptation of
that initial stab at writing). Since its Indie debut in Jan. 2012, I’ve written
several more, taking feedback from readers and writers along the way to
improve. These final installments of the series (under Grand Central
Publishing) had the added benefit of a fabulous editor, Latoya Smith. (Mimi! Get to the point!)
Getting there!
Point is, you’re never too old to change! After about 100K e-copies sold, it was time
for Votan (and Emma) to get a little professional makeover! (Insert applause
for Latoya here.)
Yes, it’s still the same, quirky, crazy story, but I hope
the readers will find Votan and Emma a little bit steamier. (I added an extra
yummy scene!) Emma also got a tiny makeover (just as snarky as before, but less
whiny). And Tommaso, well, he’s still the same sexy bad boy who confuses us.
I hope everyone enjoys that New & Improved, Mass Market
paperback. My 1stever!!! (Insert image of Mimi disco dancing wildly
next to Cimil here.) For those who’ve
got the ebook, I understand you’ll have the opportunity to also enjoy this
revised edition.
HAPPY READING ALL!
