Sculptor, Lewis, Lord Chesterton has shut himself away working on his sculptures after his wife, Laura, left him and was subsequently murdered. Some in Society believe he was behind her death. When Lewis begins a new work titled Aphrodite, Hebe Fenchurch comes to pose for him.
Hebe’s life has been turned upside down since her father killed himself after becoming involved in a swindle. Hebe and her mother have been shunned by the ton and left with very little money, and Hebe must seek employment. When told she is unsuited for a governess and lacks the skills of a maid, she finds paid work as an artist’s model.

He finds himself drawn to her, his work stalls, and he fears he won’t finish the statue of Aphrodite. Must he dismiss Hebe and lose the best model he ever had?
After another of Lewis’ models suffers the same fate as his wife Laura, the mystery intensifies and gossip spreads. Can the two murders be connected? Hebe is drawn into the fray. He must act to protect her.
As Hebe sits for him, Lewis’ employs his skill as a sculptor to fashion the beautiful goddess from a block of marble. As the stone gleams like satin in the light, Lewis’ world view changes. It is said that Aphrodite stands for love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation, and she can even mend a broken heart.
Can the goddess’ power be real?
