Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon blends urban fantasy and paranormal romance around an ancient curse colliding with modern life. Julian of Macedon, a once-feared Greek general, has been condemned by the gods to centuries of supernatural bondage, summoned only for brief periods by a rare and dangerous spell. When skeptical therapist Grace Alexander performs the ritual as a birthday joke, she unexpectedly brings Julian into her home for a single month, only to discover that the magic threatens her sanity if he is forced back into captivity. As they confront vengeful deities, tangled mythology, and their growing connection, the story follows two strong protagonists fighting a supernatural fate that neither of them chose.
