**The No 1 fantasy romance by award-winning novelist and scriptwriter Gytha Lodge, author of The Fragile Tower series** What if you had a power you couldn't control? What if you could make everyone you cared about fall in love with their perfect match, and live happily ever after? And what if the only person it wouldn't work on was you? Helena Morgan is a smart, sarcastic math student in her final year of MIT. She refuses to date, or to even get close to anyone male, and her friendships with her girlfriends have a bad habit of ending after a few months. But Helena isn't the hard person she appears to be. She has a secret; one that has made toughness necessary for her own survival. Helena creates fairytale happy endings, for everyone except herself. Every friend she's ever had has ditched her for their all-consuming new love interest, and the few times she's had boyfriends, they've suddenly found themselves head over heels for someone else... But the devastatingly hot new boy Joseph Moritz doesn't want to take no for an answer. The more Helena pushes him away, the more determined he is that they're meant to be together. She finds herself drawn into his world, one where his younger brother needs his protection from the increasingly bad people he's got involved with, and one where risks are a part of everyday life. She knows she shouldn't let herself get close to him, but something in Helena is aching to stop fighting. Is there a chance she might get to hang on to Joe, or will she lose him? And is it even worth the risk? The Cupid Touch is the gripping new story from Gytha Lodge, award-winning author of The Fragile Tower series. Available exclusively on Wattpad.

"How is it that when your chest is against mine, that even though our hearts don't beat the same, and your breath exhales when I inhale. I feel as though we are in sync. You move left when I move right, you begin your sentence as I end mine. Your lips close as mine part." He says as his eyes move from my frozen wide eyes to where he holds my hands above my head. With every breath he takes I feel my body react in sync, the way I can still feel every touch and caress he has drawn out along my body, the invisible mark like my own personal tattoo. "Say you're mine." He breaths down my neck, the heat of him encasing me as he holds me in his own way, I feel the tingle of his kiss under my ear, against the join of my neck and shoulder as he begins to cover my skin in kisses. "Say it." He purrs against my ear and draws back so he can look into my hooded dark eyes. "I'm yours." I whisper. And in that moment I know I have got myself stuck in something I may never be able get out of. I had been completely and utterly owned by Grayson Nolan. ********************************************************************************************* So this story is a little dash of bad boy, a little dash of business man, tattoos and seduction (so there will be a few hot and heavy scenes) and lots of possessive alpha male syndrome going on.... so please give it a try and let me know what you think! There will be sexual scenes so please read with caution!

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT AND THERE ARE GRAMMAR MISTAKES I pushed at his chest, but it was useless. He stayed, his arms caging me in. "Anastasia," he hummed against my ear, my name rolling off his tongue. "I know you want me just as bad as I want you." I couldn't deny it anymore, I was his. ~>~ A romance novel Started: 11/28/2017 Finished : 03/04/2018 Highest Ranking: #96 12.27.2017

Hunter, on the other hand, has never doubted the simplicity of life. What he wants- he gets. Right? And he definitely wants her. ----------------------- Completed -----------
