The Cupid Dilemma

In the new paranormal romance from bestselling author April Asher, a down-on-her-luck wedding planner demigoddess and a Muse-less rockstar agree to a fauxmance that quickly turns anything but...

A lover of love and a champion for happily ever after. Those are two of many things people expect from Aphrodite's daughter. To Adalyn Whitlock, 'love' pays the bills, and currently, not well. Business is dropping at Happily Ever Forever, with her latest wedding planning catastrophe ending in a negative social media storm and her sister Maxi's matchmaking ability on the fritz. To top it off, there's an ex-boyfriend calling her 'the Anti-Aphrodite' and paparazzi pics linking Addie to her new client's older brother.

Phoenix "Nix" Cross--songwriter and drummer for the hot new band, The Stone Talons--is no saint, but he's far from the womanizer the band's image rep bestowed on him. If anything, Nix is a romantic, hopeful he'll find a love like the one his parents share. With the band's star quickly rising and the record label pressuring him to deliver their next hit, Nix's writer's block couldn't have come at a worse time. But when he opens his door to his irate new next-door neighbor, Nix feels the brief flash of inspiration for the first time in ages. And it just so happens that his new Muse is none other than his little sister's new wedding planner.

With Addie needing an end to her public-relations nightmare and the record label breathing down Nix's neck, the pair agree to a fauxmance. But what happens when the emotions turned on for the cameras don't turn off?

About the Author
USA Today Bestselling Author APRIL ASHER was hooked on romantic stories from the time she first snuck a boddice ripper from her mom's bedside table. By day, April dons nursing scrubs and drinks way too much caffeine. By night, she still consumes too much caffeine, but with a laptop in hand. She pens rom-coms with a paranormal twist but also writes high-octane romantic suspense as April Hunt. She lives out her own happily-ever-after with her college-sweetheart husband and their two children.
