Pagan scolar Nich Mordaunt attemptes to bring his highly perverse brand of Paganism to the West Country,and to take on the cynical, fraudulent but beautiful television astrologer,Ariesian.Nich is delighted at inspiring a host of hitherto religious young women to lose their virginities,but reckons without the voyeurism of the cunning and depraved Mr Pedlow.

Tempting the Goddess follows Nich Mordaunt's elaborate schemes to replace the Pagan leader Ariesian's bland and commercail festivals with ones of his own invention, featuring the deflowering of virgins, together with lurid orgies and sacrifices. However, Nich must negotiate the bitter sexual rivalries among antagonistic priests and priestesses, and all the while the lewd and unctuous Mr Pedlow is watching.
