The Amorous Arrow

Cupid #1

by J.M. Jeffries

Cupid's in trouble with the Tribunal of the Gods. His punishment is to unite Amberlin O'Rourke and her kleptomaniac aunt with the loves of their lives. If he doesn't succeed Cupid could end up demoted to God of Dog Duty! He enlists the aid of his mother, Venus, to figure out a way to bring the old and new lovers together.

Amberlin O'Rourke can't believe fate has saddled her with an aunt who is fulfilling a forty-year vendetta against Jeremy Barrett's family department store. Amberlin would do anything to end her aunt's one-woman crime spree, even join forces with snobby, blue-blooded Jeremy Barrett in the mother of all match-making schemes. As Jeremy and Amberlin plot to match her aunt with Jeremy's grandfather, an unexpected attraction emerges between them.

But Amberlin, blue-collar plumber by day and starving artist by night. refuses to risk her heart and soul for a superficial flirtation with old-money Jeremy. What should have been a slam-barn, no-brainer romance for Cupid and Venus turns into a rip-roaring circus of bedlam. Can the two Gods of Love find a way to show Amberlin and Jeremy that their future is together no matter what has happened in the past?
