Synopsis

Immortality isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially for the 3,375-year-old virgin of Mount Olympus.

Day after eternal day, Cupid launches his love-tipped arrows, then watches from the sidelines while everyone else has all the fun. His dull, sheltered existence takes an abrupt turn for the worse when he sends an arrow into the wrong rump.

Banished by the gods, Cupid plunges to Earth and lands in present-day Tarra, Indiana, where mortals go on about their daily routines, oblivious to the capricious gods stirring the pot from above. Discovering that his wings and pubescent pudge have been replaced with an impressive human form, Cupid swiftly leaves his virginity behind, but his carnal spree comes to a screeching halt when he falls passionately in love for the first time in his immortal life. Soon, Cupid understands the full measure of his punishment: he must find the true Right Love match for the mortal he desperately loves, and then he must let her go.

Caught between two worlds on a quest to fix Love, Cupid will have to master his own tortured heart and battle the powerful gods conspiring against him. Failure will not be tolerated; success will cost him everything.

From the Back Cover

The year is 2019. The ancient gods of Olympus have long been forgotten by the mortals, but they're up there, as fickle and vindictive as ever. When Cupid sends an arrow into the hellhound of Hades, he finds out just how far the gods will go to teach him a lesson.

Will Cupid survive the throes of his own violent coming of age to fulfill his divine duty? Failure is not an option, and success will cost him everything.

From the Inside Flap

THE FALL THAT STARTED IT ALL.

Discipline of a mischievous god is no laughing matter, but Cupid just can't help himself. Immortality is lonely for the 3,375-year-old virgin of Mount Olympus. Love is a game he can only play from the sidelines - and one day, he takes that game too far.

Banished from the only home he's ever known, Cupid plunges to Earth and lands in present-day Tarra, Indiana, where mortals go on about their daily routines, oblivious to the gods stirring the pot from above. At first, Cupid's newfound freedom and sexy Earth-bod feel more like gifts than punishment, but the gods have something terrible in store for Cupid: a taste of his own medicine.

First Quiver pulls the reader inside the conflict between duty and love, a battle as old as the gods themselves.
