“Who did this to you?”
As the reincarnation of Cupid, ex-special forces, Valentin is forbidden from getting involved with humans. His job as the defender of love is to protect mortal relationships, and unlike the stories, his bow is not a cute deliverer of romance but a brutal weapon of war, intended to guard the sanctity of love.
But the moment he lays eyes on Amorette, the beautiful café owner, his discipline wavers. She’s forbidden fruit, but Valentin can’t stay away. He resolves to watch from a distance until she arrives injured at her café, and his protective nature rears its head. He can no longer abide by the rules. No one touches what’s his.
Amorette and her ex-boyfriend were having problems, but when men break in on Valentine’s Day looking for the money he stole, her life is suddenly in danger. Given twenty-four hours to return the money or both she and her parents pay the price, a desperate Amorette races against the clock to rescue her family. With her deadline fast approaching, she fears her life is forfeit until the hulking, gorgeous blond who frequents her café and captured her heart appears with a golden bow and arrow of vengeance.
Valentin vows to protect her. She’s his, even if his kind forbids it. He can’t fight destiny anymore, and together, they paint the town in red X’s for justice and hot O’s of true love.
A vigilante, forbidden romance Valentine’s Day novella, X Marks the O’s is intended for mature audiences. Please see the Author’s Note inside the book for more info.
