That Kerry’s birthday falls on the most romantic day of the year sucks. That she’s set up on a date with both an angel and a demon sucks worse. But she’s about to discover that being trapped between good and evil makes for one hell of a good time.
Mike and Cal, angel and demon, are reluctant business partners. To help them get along, Cupid sends a mediator called Kerry, but rather than working on a truce, the guys are soon locked in a different battle, this time over Kerry’s smoking curves.

The Mediator Excerpt
(First Meet, Cal’s POV…)
“My dear Miss Dalton.” The cupid pressed a button at the side on his chair. A motor whirred as his seat rose up. “The terms and conditions set out that the appointment is to last twenty-four hours.”
“That’s crazy.” She ripped the card out of his hands and held it in front of her. “Twenty-four hours? What kind of date lasts twenty-four hours?”
Any date with me, baby.
“This one will.” The cupid didn’t relax his tone.
She slumped her shoulders. “Fine. Do you have a photo database of losers, or do I pick a name from a hat?”
He aimed his hand at Mike and me.
We practically shot up in unison.
“Oh.” Her gaze, from light-blue eyes, drifted from me to the angel. “Sorry about the loser comment.”
I smirked. “No problem.”
Angel sissy to my left mumbled something incomprehensible. Yeah, dude had no idea how to handle a woman like that.
She leaned toward the cupid and cupped her mouth. “Which one?”
The cupid beamed. “Both.”
Kerry coughed into her fist, eyes wide. “Ha. You nearly had me. Seriously. Which… Which one?”
“Both. This is not a date, though, you understand. The cupids’ responsibilities go far beyond merely pairing up couples. I’m pleased to tell you that we have determined that you are a rare mediator, the perfect match for these two gentlemen.”
She faced us, her hands gripping the edge of the desk to her left and right. Her clothes looked like she’d got dressed at night, but I was more interested in what lay beneath anyway.
“A mediator?” The poor baby almost hyperventilated.
Mike leaped forward and guided her to his chair. His hand oh-so-accidentally brushed her full breasts.
What a dick.

About The CUPID Dating Agency
The secret is out: angels and demons walk among us. The Cupid Dating Agency, once merely responsible for aligning the fates of compatible humans, have expanded their portfolio. Operators of luxury cruises and charitable organizations are as valued as casinos and trendy bars, and it’s up to the cupids to find the angels, demons, and humans who will run these businesses. Should a heavenly attraction between the participants lead to all sorts of sinful fun, well, that’s just the icing on the cake.
