Stupid Cupid tells the tale of Felicity Walker. Felicity believes in true love. That’s why she applies for a gig at the matchmaking company Cupid’s Hollow. But when Felicity gets the job, she learns that she isn’t just a matchmaker – she’s a cupid! Armed with a hot pink, tricked-out PDA infused with the latest in cupid magic (love arrows shot through email), Felicity works to meet her quota of successful matches. But when she bends the rules of cupidity by matching her best friend Maya with three different boys at once, disaster strikes. Felicity needs to come up with a plan to set it all right, pronto, before she gets fired – and before Maya ends up with her heart split in three.

The second book in the Stupid Cupid series, Flirting with Disaster, is scheduled for release in March 2010, to be followed by a third book, Pucker Up, scheduled for release in May 2010.
