Only Everything
Kieran Scott - 2014
I know! Elders! I'm Eros, a.k.a. Cupid. The Goddess of Love. Until this morning, anyway.Now I'm stuck on Earth with no clue how to function as a human, and I can't even conjure up my magical bow and arrows to help me do my job. I've already met this amazing guy—Charlie, a new kid in school like me—but matching him up isn't as easy as I thought. Turns out opposites don't attract, nearly identicals don't attract, and giving a guy what he seems to want is just one big disaster. My sweet new friend Katrina might work, but she's got more complications than Medusa's hair, and a live-in boyfriend with a serious mean streak. Probably not the best idea to go there.If I don't make a match, I may never see Orion again. I have so much to lose, and only everything to gain.
