Showing results for "cupid" in All Categories

It started innocently enough with a harmless inquiry about a cute guy at a coffee shop. The goal was to get back into the romance game. The search turned into a social media frenzy. #DesperatelySeekingDane was not available. Talk about a buzzkill. Just when I thought things couldn't become more dramatic, a TV production company reached out to me as a last-minute contestant in a dating contest because of my five minutes of online fame. It was an instant yes because one of the three bachelors was a major movie star and my lifelong crush.

Here’s what I know. Being a cupid is hard work. Love Matches, Lust Breath, Flirt Touches, not to mention having to meet my quotas every month. And hitting your target with arrows? That shit is not easy. But all of that I could handle. Gladly. If only my cupid powers would actually work. The clock is ticking, but I have the perfect candidate to start with. Warren Knight. Smart, hot as hell, rich, bachelor-dud extraordinaire. Of course, the asshole doesn’t want to fall in love, so I have my work cut out for me.

You'd think that basically being in charge of love would be an epic job, right? Wrong. Sure, I can blow some Lust into people's faces and watch the show, but I can't actually participate. It gets old, trust me. Same goes for love. I can pass it out like sugar-free lollipops at a dentist's office, but I can't get any love for myself. It totally sucks. I used to consider myself a hopeless romantic, so why wouldn't I choose to become a cupid? Sounds like a good idea, right? Wrong again. They don't call us stupid cupids for nothing.

When 17-year-old Lila Black goes to the LA-based Cupids Matchmaking Service, it is to tell them to stop spamming her. Instead she finds out that cupids are real, she has been identified as the match of the banished, dangerous (and irresistibly attractive) Cupid himself, and that due to an administrative error he will be arriving at her high school tomorrow. The organization assigns one of their matchmaking agents, Cal, to hide her from him, but despite his efforts she finds herself increasingly drawn to her match.

Rule number one: Don't get hit by your own arrow.... I'm a professional Cyrano - minus the honking great nose. Need a love note, raunchy sext, or apology letter so epic that your other half will forget you hesitated a beat too long when you asked, "does this make me look fat?"? I've got you covered. But when my most frequent client, the annoyingly charming (or is that charmingly annoying?) Dylan Griffin comes to me with an unconventional new job, I discovers that three little words can add up to one big complication.

In a world where everyone has their perfect match, 17-year-old Lila Black is sick of Cupid's Matchmaking Service spamming her. But her world is turned inside-out when she learns not only that cupids exist, but that she's been matched with the infamous god of love, Cupid. The only catch? She can't actually fall for Cupid; if she does, all of mythical hell will break loose, and it won't be pretty. As arrows fly and feelings become stronger, can Cupid and Lila resist each other's magnetic pull?

Iris Ellington isn't looking for love. Not even a little bit. With a long list of failed relationships behind her, she's decided to reinvent herself as a person who doesn't fall head over heels on the first date. New town. New job. New Iris. But someone—or something—has other plans. When her neighbor's newspaper lands in front of her door, Iris has no choice but to return it. And when she does, she comes face to face with a ridiculously handsome but very grumpy chef who all but slams the door in her face.

Being my best friend's maid of honor meant I had to promise myself I would stay away from her hot older brother. Let's just say I'm exceptionally good at breaking promises... not once, but thrice. Wynn Beauchamp twirled me in his arms, and I saw stars. He had been the subject of all my teenage fantasies. And it wasn't just because he was a rockstar. Wynn had a way of making me feel like I belonged to him. But he wasn't the only one... His irresistible bandmates had me falling for them just as hard.

I had it all figured out. A quiet life, my bookshop, and three cats who may or may not have magical tendencies. Love? That was a closed chapter. Until Caleb waltzed back in after seven years, turning my world upside down with a wink and a smile. Caleb isn’t just any ex, he’s a cupid. But now he’s a fallen angel on a mission, to get back the wings he lost for breaking celestial rules the first time around. With me.

So far, while working at a ghost matchmaking agency, the past week has gone thusly: 1) a murdered ghost bride who is very, very pissed off (don’t blame her, I’d be pissed off too) 2) adopted by Chinese hellhounds (I THOUGHT THEY WERE DOGS, OKAY) 3) wake up magically soul-bonded to the sexy demon slayer Zhen (While I agree he’s—expansive hand waving—HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!) I do not need a fourth incident to make my life more interesting, please and thank you. Spoiler alert: I get one anyway.
