Despina, a young, strong-willed member of the Cupid family, has questions. She is skeptical and has doubts about her father’s business, and of all things, love. Then, on a routine trip in the mid-1940s, she meets a mortal…and gives her heart away. Everett receives his draft notice. Soon, he’ll go to Europe to fight in the war. Angry and despondent, Despina returns home, where she steals two special arrows—items always forbidden to so much as touch. Upon her return to Earth, she learns Everett is gone. Entrenched in heartache and bitterness, Despina fires the arrows into two innocent humans in a jealous rage. As time passes, it becomes obvious she has somehow cursed the unsuspecting mortals…a couple who are now her friends. In the meantime, Zeus, the Lord of Olympus, grows more irritated that Despina is on Earth, when the Gods of Olympus are no longer allowed to live among mortals.. How will the curse ultimately manifest itself? Will Despina’s family suffer for her impetuousness? Can anything—or anyone—help her friends? And, more importantly, will Despina ever find happiness…or Everett?
