Plot Summary: Selena, a tarot card reader,
gives her friend Grace, a sex therapist who has a bad history with men, a book
that contains a picture of a handsome Greek man and a charm that will
supposedly call the man into reality.
Jokingly reading the words of the charm aloud and expecting them not to
work, Grace unwittingly calls Julian from the pages of the book, binding him as
her sex slave until the next full moon.
However, her trepidation at having a man in her life once more leads her
to resist his charms, and he is frustrated at his inability to woo her. After Grace learns a bit more about the curse
that has him trapped in the book, his life before the curse, and the incident
surrounding the casting of the curse itself, she becomes determined to free
Julian, who is the son of Aphrodite, from the curse that has kept him
imprisoned for over 2000 years. During
the course of their month together, the two fall deeply in love. But given the chance to return to the world
he knew before the curse, is their love strong enough for Julian to choose to
stay with her in a present that confuses and baffles him at times?
