Cupid takes a position managing a stressed-out crew at Christmas, and she finds a lawyer with an interest in her stockings.

 

 

Cupid launched herself into organizing a branch of Legal Aid only to meet a handsome lawyer who sends her senses into disarray.

Watching the families who needed help and those who were paid to help them was an education. No one stayed unless they had a feel for the job and all of those working with her want nothing more than relief of stress for their clients.

When Tyr arrives as holiday relief, he sweeps through their caseload like magic. His interest in late-night takeout and casual chatter are enough to catch and keep her attention, but when she realizes who and what he is, her holiday season goes from snowbound to hot.

Excerpt:

“Well, you have gotten rid of nearly all of us.” Cupid looked up from her filing, and she smiled at Ru.

“You know that that isn’t what is going on. Change requires leaps of faith. I am trusting him to do the right thing.”

“It is a big chance.”

Ru sighed. “I know, but something has to change. He has been locked in his pattern for too long, which has locked us up. Both things need alteration.”

Cupid nodded and finished her filing, making notes on how far she had gotten. She was meticulous.

Rudolph chuckled. “So, have you figured out what you want to do?”

“I think I would like an office with actual people and a chance to help folks through the stress of this holiday. Since I can’t do it for you, I would like to do it for someone.”

Ru smiled slightly and gave her a quick hug. “You have always been there for folks that need it. Your team depends on you, and you never let them down.”

Cupid sighed. “I know. I just want to try it with others and see how things work with humans. I have heard things, and I want to see for myself how horrible the holidays can be for some.”

Ru put her hand on Cupid’s shoulder. “That is going to be rough on you.”

“I can take it.”

“I know you can, but seeing pain changes you. It either makes you colder or increases your empathy.”

“I will welcome the change. I have had too much of my life be static and immobile. Change is growth, for good or other.”

“Just don’t lose yourself in their pain. You are not human; you can never be human. All you have is a moment to share with them and to be with them.”

Cupid blinked at the bald statement. “If I can ease one person’s cold and hostile winter, I will do it.”

Ru grinned. “That’s the attitude I expect from you. Here is your transport.”

Ru extended her hand, and a small box was in her palm.

“Did you have that with you the whole time?” Cupid blinked.

Ru snickered and opened the box. A small and elegant snowflake was sitting and glittering against dark velvet.

Cupid took the snowflake and pressed it to her shoulder. The rush of magic made the hair on the back of her neck stand up.

Ru handed her the box and smiled. “Think about where you want to be and go there. The magic will do the rest.”

Cupid closed her eyes, and she was swept away in a blur of magic and snowflakes.

She opened her eyes to the knowledge that she was Cwen Uma Piderson and she was the office manager for Legal Aid. It was time to face the holidays with those who had little to celebrate.
