What if the gods walk among us?
Cupid (Latin, cupido, meaning "desire") in Roman mythology is the god of desire, affection, and erotic love. His Greek counterpart is Eros, but Cupid is also known in Latin as Amor ("Love").
Many names for one person, right?
Eros appears in Classical Greek art as a young-looking, slender-winged youth who is often depicted as being mischievous, but during the Hellenistic period he’s increasingly portrayed as a chubby boy. It was during this time he acquired the bow and arrow that remains a distinguishing attribute; a person, or even a deity, who’s shot by Cupid's arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire. But he also has arrows that could fill someone with hate.
But… what if the gods
do walk among us?
What if Cupid is more than
what the mythology tells us? What if he isn’t
married to Psyche, and insteads stumbles across a human male who is destined to
be his mate while in Las Vegas at The Palms, shooting his arrows to meet his quota?
Heavenly day, what if Cupid wants to take human form and age himself so he can
attract the interest of this man?
What if we
humans have no idea just how badly we’ve messed up the pantheon?
And finally, what if
there’s a side to Cupid we’ve never heard about? The dark, obsessive side of
love that’s caused more than one war throughout time; an alter ego known as
Jealousy that even the god of all gods, Zeus, fears? Can the love of the human
known as Jeff control Jealousy? Can he tame the beast?
Can Jeff be…

Blurb:
Jaded billionaire Jeff Mayfield loves only what his
money and power can buy, but the Fates have plans for him. First a player in
Jeff’s casino hits a huge jackpot and things turn hectic. Then, in the middle
of the chaos, Jeff lays eyes on the unbelievably sexy Cam Smith—Cupid in his
human form.
Seized by lust, Jeff makes a move, only to find
himself on the receiving end of a blistering wave of sexual intent. Cam
disassembles Jeff’s self-image and puts it back together upside down. But Jeff
isn’t the only one struggling with control. Cam’s alter ego is Jealousy, and if
he loses his composure, the consequences will be deadly.
Excerpt:
Jeff backed Cam into the door and
brushed his lips across Cam’s. Heat flared between them as Jeff lost himself in
the feel of Cam’s soft lips and scratchy five o’clock shadow. He enjoyed the
kiss, but something was missing. He raised a hand and rested it on Cam’s neck.
His strong, quick pulse thudded under the silky skin.
Cam slid his hands around Jeff’s waist
and suddenly turned them around. Surprised, Jeff broke the kiss. He opened his
mouth to say something but Cam leaned into him, backed him up against the door,
and attacked his mouth. Desire roared out of nowhere, knocking Jeff off stride
as Cam took over again.
Jeff’s head spun with pleasure as Cam
ground against him. Shock waves of pleasure raced through his body. Shaking
from the intensity, he moaned as Cam led him down a whole new path; he was
actually concerned he’d come in his pants… from a kiss. Breathing harshly, they
broke apart.
“I need to go inside.” Cam ran his thumb
over Jeff’s wet bottom lip.
“Let’s go.”
“I’m going inside; you’re going back to
your friends.”
Confused, disappointed, and aroused to
the point of pain, Jeff ran his hands through his hair.
“Are you…? Do you mean to tell…? Dammit,
Cam.” Jeff rested his head against the door. “I’m dying here. You really aren’t
going to invite me in?”
“‘Fraid not. I told you, I don’t fuck on
the first date.”
“Jesus God help me,” Jeff mumbled,
trying simultaneously not to get angry and calm his raging body. “Do you have
any idea what you do to me?”
“I have lots of ideas of what to do to
you, but not right now.”
A shiver ran up Jeff’s spine.
“Take my number, and call me when you’re
ready to meet in the morning,” Cam said. “I’ll be waiting.”
“You sure I can’t change your mind?”
“I’m sure.”
“Okay, fine.” Jeff struggled to keep the
disappointment off his face. Cam really was serious. “Give it to me.”
Cam barely hid the grin that teased his
lips. Oh, he intended to, and it was gonna blow Jeff away.
M.A.
Church
M.A. Church lives in the southern United
States and spent many years in the elementary education sector. She is married
to her high school sweetheart and they have two children. Her hobbies are
gardening, walking, attending flea markets, watching professional football,
racing, and spending time with her family on the lake.
But her most beloved hobby is reading.
From an early age, she can remember hunting for books at the library. Later
nonhuman and science fiction genres captured her attention and drew her into
the worlds the authors had created. But always at the back of her mind was the
thought that one day, when the kids were older and she had more time, she would
write a book.
By sheer chance she stumbled across a
gay male romance story on the web and was hooked. A new world opened up and she
fell in love. Thus the journey started. When not writing or researching, she
enjoys reading the latest erotic and mainstream romance novels.
