Can a Cat Burglar Resist a Cat Goddess?
He’s a thief, a cat burglar, training her to become his partner not his lover. Failure to resist his fierce attraction to her could destroy his sister’s happiness.
Sebastian should have known he was in big trouble when from the first he compares Darcelle to the ancient Egyptian cat goddess Bastet.
“Myth says the statues of the Ancient Egyptian cat goddess, Bastet, were made in the likeness of Abyssinian cats. Bastet was a protector.”
His tongue traced the curve of her ear. “That’s what you will be, a protector of the people’s right to their own heritage. And you’ll be mine, minou.”
Depicted with the body of a woman and the head of a lioness, a desert sand-cat, or a domesticated cat, Bastet was a protector of women, hearth, and home. She began as a warrior goddess, one of the goddesses known as the Eye of Ra, but over time she became associated with the more docile figure of a cat sometimes with a litter of kittens.
Tomorrow, I’ll reveal the celebrity who could be Darcelle.
