The Warrior's Progeny

If love dies, can it be reborn…only stronger?

Colton Stone is a newly traded tight end whose reputation is as battered as his football helmet. When he receives a vacation invitation from his new teammates, he accepts. There he collides with Dr. Lillian Morgan, a pediatric cardiovascular surgeon, and doesn’t know what to think.

A widow with two children, Lilly is looking forward to her friends’ wedding. When she meets Colton Stone, his arrogant attitude only makes her long for the love she took for granted. Lilly struggles between letting go of her perfect past for an uncertain future.

 

Strange events occur, out of the realm of normal consciousness. When black energy touches their world Colt and Lilly become the pawns of the immortal Greek gods. Is the love developing between them natural, or part of a larger prophecy?

An Excerpt

“You couldn’t have known,” Colt said.

“I’m a doctor,” she retorted. “I’m trained to know.”

“Oh, bullshit.” She drew her brows together and looked at him with irritation. Undaunted, he continued. “You were his wife, not his doctor.” Glancing back at the picture, he drank from his glass. “He was a young guy…looked fit…father of two.” Colt turned to look at her again. “Young, fit, fathers of two don’t get stage four pancreatic cancer and die in ten months. He wasn’t your patient, Lillian, and you weren’t looking at him like a patient. He was your husband, and he died.”

“Colt.” She took a breath, placed a hand on his, and backed up a little. “Look, I know you want something, but we’re broken here, and I can’t give you what you…”

“Bullshit.”

“It’s not bullshit. It’s how I feel. I’ve got kids to think about and responsibilities. You want easy and I’m not that.”

“You don’t even know me, Lilly.”

“I know. That’s what I’ve been trying to say.”

“No, that’s what you’re trying to use as an excuse. Those kids aren’t damaged because of their dad, you are. Those kids have a mom who loves them and makes damn sure they aren’t damaged. You’re afraid to try, so you hide behind your dead husband.”

“How dare you be so callous?”

“How dare you use your husband to get out of trying again? You’re a beautiful, intelligent woman and your life isn’t over.”

Loved it!!!

Loved the mythological elements but it’s ok if you’re not into mythology. The book can be read without paying much attention to the mythical elements. The romance is realistic and pretty hot. The plot is intense and page-turning. The main characters are Lily, a modern-day doctor, and Colt a football player. The location of the book is Hawaii, a heaven on earth. Can’t wait to read the first book of the series and I’m looking forward to…

The Warrior's Progeny

An intense, page-turning adventure that weaves a hot contemporary romance with spell-binding Greek mythology! The story begins with a prologue in the land of the gods, and readers may find it challenging to keep track of the relationships and stakes. Twelve descendants of the gods and goddesses must be brought together and united to save their deity ancestors. Colton and Lilly are the second pair in this second book of the…

Loved the plot & characters

Loved the plot and the characters of this book. Ms. Heckman does a fabulous job using modern-day role models like a football star, Colton Stone, and a doctor for the female character Dr. Lillian Morgan to bring the traits of Greek Gods’ descendants alive in the present. This is the 2nd book in the Heaven & Earth series and although it can be read on its own, I recommend reading the first book, The Sea Archer. You will get a better idea of…
