So, tell me... Which god do you find most interesting?
I have to say when I was researching for this book, Morpheus kept grabbing my attention. He ended up being the perfect foil to Cam (Cupid) lol. I think Mo may be the sweetest character I've ever written.
According to Greek
mythology, who was Morpheus?
Morpheus was one of the primeval gods, descended from Nyx, the dark goddess of night who was the mother of everything mysterious and anything that was inexplicable—such as death, disease, dreams, ghosts, dreams, witchcraft, and enchantments. The drug Morphine which, as a side effect, can cause hallucinations, was named after Morpheus. Morpheus was the eldest son of Hypnos, the God of sleep. Morpheus had the ability to take on the appearance of a mortal in dreams. He was the god who relayed messages from the gods and prophecies of the future.

Symbols of Morpheus
The symbols of Morpheus were wings and poppies. These are often featured in depictions of the god of dreams. According to Greek mythology, there was a garden of poppies at the entrance of his palace in the Underworld. Poppies symbolized death, eternal sleep, and oblivion. The hypnotic properties of the poppy plant have long been used to treat insomnia, allowing sleep to people who have trouble sleeping.

Blurb:
Zygi Wyatt is an
intimidating dom, but he yearns for love just like the next man. However,
finding a partner who isn’t scared of his size is no easy task. The easygoing
Mo seems like the answer to his prayers.
Love is the stuff of
dreams. Ask the god Morpheus—he knows all about it. Mo wants Zygi in a forever
kind of way, but he has to be sure of Zygi’s love before he claims him for his
mate and reveals his true self.
Unfortunately, Zeus is
growing increasingly unhappy with Morpheus, and Ares is determined to throw a
monkey wrench into everything. Zygi and Mo will have to brave the wrath of the
gods to make their dreams come true.
