Cupid's Wanderlust (Paperback or Softback)

When an ancient Cupid figurine mysteriously binds risk-averse art photographer Poppy Lane to an adventurous archaeologist, her perfectly planned life begins to unravel.

She thought her future was perfectly framed—until unbidden love blurred every line.

Poppy Lane has her life exactly where she wants it: a rising London art photographer on the brink of her first solo exhibition, living with her aristocratic boyfriend Lawrence Atherton, and expecting a marriage proposal. Safe. Predictable. Perfect.

Until she meets him.

Damiano Monteiro is an enigmatic Portuguese archaeologist who chases stolen artifacts—and danger. Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. Poppy tells herself it's just a fleeting spark.

But fate, embodied in an ancient Cupid figurine, has other plans.

Guided by mysterious clues and striking coincidences, Poppy keeps crossing paths with Damiano in Europe's most romantic cities as she seeks creative inspiration. Each encounter pulls her deeper into a whirlwind of desire, adventure, and secrets she can't ignore. She finds herself in an unlikely love triangle, torn between the comfort of her old life and the pull of something alluringly new. With Damiano, she feels more alive than ever before—but his dangerous world threatens everything she has worked for.

Back in London, Poppy discovers that Lawrence's idea of their future differs greatly from her own. He may not even offer her the life she had planned, let alone the one she is beginning to crave.

As passion collides with ambition and hidden truths emerge, Poppy must decide: play it safe with the life she has built or risk everything for the love she never saw coming.
