Book Description

Being divine has never been more dangerous...

Raheiran Special Forces Captain Gillaine Davré has just woken up in some unknown space station, wondering where the last three hundred years have gone. The last thing she remembers is her ship being attacked. Now it seems that while she was time-traveling, she was ordained a Goddess...

Gillaine’s only hope of survival rests with dangerously seductive Admiral “Mack” Makarian, who suspects her of being a smuggler—or worse. But he can’t begin to imagine the full extent of it. For Gillaine is now Lady Kiasidira, holy icon to countless believers, including Mack—a man who inspires feelings in her that are far from saintly…feelings she knows are mutual. But when their flirtation is interrupted by a treacherous enemy from the past, Gillaine’s secret—and secret desires—could destroy them both….

Reviews

"In a scintillating far-future sequel to Wintertide, a Riftspace accident catapults Captain Gillaine Davri and her sentient crystal-ship Simon forward in time 342 years. After the shock of unintentional time travel subsides, Gillie gets an even bigger surprise. In the intervening three and a half centuries, her quaint aphorisms have turned into holy guidelines and she's been deified. This doesn't stop her pub-crawling, irreverent ways, but it does shadow Gillie's attraction to the space station commander.

Suspicious of this mysterious woman and her partial truths, Admiral Rynan "Mack" Makarian soon realizes Gillie is his soulmate, even if there's something different about her. When miracles start to happen in her vicinity, Mack knows she isn't telling him everything.

This is exquisite storytelling that combines delicious romance, a spellbinding plot, and vivid characters into a powerful drama that transcends genres. "

"Accidental Goddess proves once again why Sinclair is one of the reigning queens of science fiction romance...This is a book readers can hand to non-SF fans and say, 'Try it. You'll like it.' And they will...provided they enjoy bright, attractive characters, an interesting plot, action, adventure, humor and romance."
