About This Book
What if the person who's best at finding love for everyone else has never found it for herself? That's the delicious irony at the heart of this Valentine's Day novella, where junior cupid Abby Angellini arrives in Las Vegas for the Annual Cupids' Convention and promptly collides — figuratively and otherwise — with Sabine Goddard, the legendary archer whose professional record is flawless and whose heart remains stubbornly unshot. The setup is charming, but the stakes feel genuinely tender: two women circling something neither is quite ready to name, while the city of excess hums around them.
McKay writes with a breezy wit that never tips into silliness, keeping the fantasy premise grounded in recognizable longing. At just over a hundred pages, the novella moves with real economy — every scene earns its place, and the banter between Abby and Sabine crackles with the kind of warmth that sneaks up on you. The prose is light but precise, and McKay has a gift for building emotional intimacy quickly, which is exactly what a novella demands. Readers who love sapphic romance with a playful mythological twist will find this one quietly hard to put down.
