ALL FOR VENUS

Eli only ever wanted someone who would stay. His golden heart beats so loudly a goddess hears it across dimensions. Venus tears him from his world into hers—a living echo of ancient Greece, all marble temples, olive groves, and gods who walk among men. He is told the truth at once: he is fated to stand beside her… but only if he first proves the heart that called her is pure gold. In a realm that already knows he does not belong, acceptance is scarce. Mortals sneer at the outsider. Heroes resent the stranger. Even the kindest souls keep their distance. Yet Eli’s test remains the same: keep giving. Help those who spit on his hand. Defend those who curse his name. Lift up the very people who try to break the foreigner in their midst. Will the man who only wanted love survive a world that rejects him for existing? Or will the soft, stubborn heart that summoned a goddess prove strong enough to change it? A mythic romance of radical kindness, and the power of a unmovable heart.
