To challenge or not to challenge… that is the question.
What
happens when a human by the name of Jeff Mayfield inadvertently lays a monster
challenge on the God of Love… one that Cupid can’t resist? Jeff is willful, stubborn, and egotistical… and, best of all,
doesn’t think love is something he needs in his life.
Can
Jeff be…

Hey!
My name is M.A. Church, and my second book with Dreamspinner is due to be
released January 23rd. In
Priceless, we saw Cupid take aim at two mortals, only to run into one problem
after another while trying to get his arrows ready for Garrett or Randy.
By the time Cupid had
his shot lined up, the mortals had spotted each other and, as they say, the
rest was history. Had the Hags of Fate interfered? And if they had, why?
And
more importantly, did Cupid really want to know what those three were up to? The last time they got their hands on him he barely
escaped with his wings intact, and was wearing a diaper. This, thanks to them,
has since become the most widely known image of Cupid. Intrigued by the events
unfolding around him, Cupid stays in Las Vegas. Curious as to what the Moirai are
up to, he stays to watch what
unfolds… and runs across the one that is meant to be his mate.
Jeff Mayfield, owner of The Palms, is a
jaded, cynical billionaire who’s used to what his money and power can buy.
Control is everything to him. Jeff was burned badly when Brad, his cheating ex,
ran off with a Hollywood producer, and he swore he would never fall in love again. He tells his long-time friends, Garrett
and Zygi, that a bachelor way of life is for him. But the Hags of Fate have
other plans and Cupid is on his game.
Power and authority are the traits Jeff
has built his life on, and now Cam is slowly disassembling the foundation of
his life, touch by slow, teasing touch. As Cam takes the more dominant role,
Jeff’s long-held control is stripped away. But Jeff isn’t the only one
struggling with control. Cam has issues of his own, and losing control could
be… deadly. Because the God of Love isn’t all hearts and arrows. Love has a
dark side, and Cam finds himself battling his alter-ego, that green-eyed
monster Jealousy.
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:
“So, what is he, or who is he? Cam, I
mean.”
Mo took a deep breath. “He wanted to be
the one to tell you, Jeff. He’s Cupid, God of Love. He’s had his eye on you
since he first saw Randy and Garrett. And no, he didn’t make them fall in love,
any more than he made you fall in love. He didn’t use his arrows on any of you.
You are his mate, his one true love. And believe me, Zeus isn’t happy with this
situation, or with him. He’s not happy with either of us, actually.”
“Zeus…? He’s the… the….”
“God of all the gods.”
Jeff rested his head against the
steering wheel. “Okay, right, god of all the gods. Can I say I’m a bit
over-fucking-whelmed right now?”
“Now would be as good a time as any.”
Jeff sat back in his seat, rubbing his
hands. He hadn’t realized what a tight grip he’d had on the wheel. “So, what
has Zeus got up his ass about this?”
Mo frowned. “Up his ass? He’s not gay as
far as I know, Jeff. But that’s not to say he hasn’t—”
“Oh my sweet baby Jesus.” Jeff had
forgotten that Mo took everything literally. “Why is he not happy with this
situation?”
“Ah.” Morpheus snorted. “You’re human.
The gods don’t care all that much for humans. Plus, you are not immortal. We
are.”
“Shit.”
“Nicely put. There’s more, and this is
the hardest. Cupid stands for love, right? That’s what the mythology says, and it’s
true. He has arrows that can make people fall in love or fall in hate. But what
most humans don’t know is that there are two different sides of Cupid. You saw
a bit of the other side earlier.”
“What do you mean?”
“That there is a dark side of love:
obsession and jealousy. The other side of Cupid is Jealousy, the green-eyed
monster that drives people to do horrible, destructive things. Jeff, I’ve seen
Jealousy once, and he’s scary. You have to believe in your love for Cam. You
need to keep talking, keep explaining what happened—while I stand guard.”
“Stand guard?”
“Jealousy truly is a monster.”
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.

I know for a fact how good this book is. Y'all need to get a copy and see for yourselves. Can't wait for the third in the series, Pure. And then, rumor has it that Zeus might be getting a book of his own. But you didn't hear that here, so mum's the word!
Until next time, take care!
