Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

You'll laugh out loud at the relatable pregnancy humor while swooning over the sweet, established polyamorous relationship dynamics.

Synopsis

First comes love, then comes mating, then comes the baby and some cupid training. Cupidville is overrun with new cupid recruits, and it’s up to me to train them in time for Valentine’s Day. Too bad I have four mates who keep insisting that it’s time for me to take a break. Juggling my role as the cupid boss, being a mate, and handling motherhood isn’t always easy, but it’s sure as hearts worth it. Let’s just hope I can get these cupid flunkies trained in time. A Valentine's Day Novella. Author’s Note: This is a Heart Hassle novella just in time for Valentine’s Day. Books 1-3 in the Cupidity world must be read before this story. Intended for audiences eighteen years and older.

At a Glance

Valentine's Day novella set after the main Heart Hassle trilogy—do NOT read this without books 1-3 first. Emelle is juggling cupid training duties, four mates, and motherhood in the most chaotic adorable way. It's pure comfort food: funny, spicy, zero angst. The why-choose dynamic is fully established here so you get all four love interests without the buildup drama. Quick read, big smile, explicit spice.
