Pan's Conquest by Aubrie Dionne
Publication Date: February 24th 2014
Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal Romance
~Summary~
Syrinx pulled a fast one on Pan to escape his raging lust. The God of Chastity wasn't about to break her vows and succumb to his temptations. Transported to the twenty-first century, she runs a florist shop—fulfilling her fake, mortal life. Until the breathtaking Parker Thomas hires her to decorate his grand estate for a gala. Five hundred roses? Easy enough. Except Parker makes her feel things she can't ignore...
As the God of Fertility, Pan is used to maidens flocking in droves to his pastures. So when Syrinx denies him, he's determined to win the one that got away. He poses as a mortal to get close to her, but he doesn't count on falling hard for his conquest—hard enough to make a life and stay.
But Syrinx is falling in love with a man that doesn't exist. Can Pan hide his identity forever, or will the truth tear them apart?

Top 5 Goddesses
I’ve been asked to write a post
about Goddesses in honor of my book Pan’s
Conquest which just released this week! My book features the Goddess of
Chastity, Syrinx. We are all our own goddess of something, and I’d love to hear
in the comments section which goddess everyone following this blog is. I
consider myself the Goddess of Impatience! Or perhaps, the Goddess of Procrastination!
In honor of Goddesses, I’d like to
share my top five goddess’s with you and why I chose them:
#1. Gaia : The personification of
Earth. Gaia is the great mother of all, creator and giver of birth to Earth and
its universe. I like to think of her as mother nature. If she were here today,
she’d definitely be an environmentalist. I’m dreaming up a book about her as I
write this blog.
#2. Athena: The goddess of wisdom,
courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics,
strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. So she’s basically good at
everything. I especially love how this goddess is a strong and smart woman who
led troops in battle. How cool is that? Out of all the goddesses, I think I’d
chose to be Athena.
#3. Aura: The divine
personification of the breeze. She is depicted as a billowing sail in an
overhead arch. Not only does she have a cool name, but I’d like to think she
can transport herself in an instant, reappear and disappear. The breeze can be
warm, but it can also be icy cold and fickle. I can only imagine what her
personality would be like! Probably tempestuous.
#4. Hebe: The goddess of youth.
Even though her name is kind of funny, think about the power she has. In
mythology, she grants a god’s wish to become young again in order to fight a
formidable foe. So she’s the fountain of youth. She’ll probably never have
wrinkles, and her metabolism will never slow down- like mine when I reached
thirty. I used to be able to eat a whole bag of cookies, and now if I eat one,
it goes right to my belly.
#5. Syrinx: The Goddess of
Chastity. I’ve always liked Syrinx because of the flute solo I play by Debussy.
You’d have to hear the solo in order to fully appreciate it. You can listen
here on you tube:
It’s sad, longing, mysterious- the
music made me wonder exactly what Syrinx was thinking. As the story goes, Syrinx
turns herself into a reed to avoid Pan’s temptations. Pan cuts the reed and
makes his flute. The story is a sad one, and has always stayed with me over all
these years- enough that I decided to make my own ending and give them both a
HEA (Happily Ever After.) Please check out my book, Pan’s Conquest, available for a limited time for only $.99!
Thanks for reading!
