Available in EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats. Read on your Kindle, phone, tablet, computer and more

Psyche is the most beautiful girl in the world. Literally. She's so beautiful, the actual goddess of beauty is jealous of her. And when a goddess is jealous of you, bad things tend to happen. At least, that's the way to bet. Luckily, Psyche has a powerful ally and admirer--the God of Love himself, Cupid. When Cupid's mother (the goddess of beauty) asked him to make her fall in love with a hideous ogre, he accidentally slipped and fell in love with her instead. Now he repels all her suitors with his iron-tipped arrows, and the oracle just said she's destined to get married to a monster. When her father leaves Psyche to die, Cupid must think and act fast. He's a god, and she's a mortal woman. How can he keep her by his side, and earn her love as an equal? And how can Psyche grow to trust her rescuer, when he doesn't trust her with the truth? This short story is a retelling of the classic Cupid and Psyche myth, which influenced everything from Beauty and the Beast to the Phantom of the Opera to the Court of Thorns and Roses. Esme Rome has breathed new life into this timeless story of true love found, lost, and found again.
