Despina, a young, strong-willed Cupid who despises her family’s business and all things love, experiences what it’s like to give her heart away while on a trip to Earth when she collides with a mortal man heading off to war in the 1940s.
Filled with emotions, she’s never felt before, Despina rebels against her role as Cupid and steals something dangerous from her father, Eros before she returns to Earth to be with the man she loves. Only, he’s gone.
Entrenched in heartache and bitterness, she curses two innocent humans in a jealous rage with the power she stole from Mount Olympus, unleashing a lifetime of pain and guilt as she navigates Earth, searching for the man and her heart while keeping a close watch on the humans who try to fight against the spell that continuously drives them apart.
