Aphrodite Needs an Alibi: Aphrodite Unchained by Regan Claire

Love hurts...and sometimes it kills. My power is simple—I can make people love me. In return, I feed off their devotion. It might sound like a gift, but really, it’s a curse. A deadly one. Virginia Beach was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to leave behind the mistakes of my past—the messy relationships, dead body, and new criminal record are things I’d rather forget. Now my nights are haunted by dreams of gods and ancient betrayals, and my days are spent dodging two men determined to break through my defenses. There's Rhys, dangerously irresistible and immune to my influence, and Smith, the nice guy I can’t afford to love. As fragments of my forgotten past start surfacing, I realize unraveling my history might be the key to understanding my fate—because my power destroys more than just hearts.
