STARTED ON WATTPAD AND NOW IT'S A PUBLISHED BOOK! A Greek God that's made a terrible mistake. Girls with the power to kiss the boys and make them cry. And a love that's doomed to fail... GET YOUR COPY OF ARROWHEART TODAY: https://goo.gl/forms/wvVnXZBWNzvLNzG42 The gods are gone. The people have forgotten them. But 16yr-old Rachel Patel can't forget - the gods control her life, or more specifically, her love life. Being a Hedoness, one of a strong group of women descended from Greek God Eros, makes true love impossible for Rachel. She wields the power of that magical golden arrow, and with it, the promise to take the will of any boy she kisses. But the last thing Rachel wants is to force someone to love her . . . When seventeen-year-old Benjamin Blake's disappearance links back to the Hedonesses, Rachel's world collides with his, and her biggest fear becomes a terrifying reality. She's falling for him - a messy, magnetic, arrow-over-feet type of fall. Rachel distances herself, struggling to resist the growing attraction, but when he gives up his dream of being a police officer to help her evade arrest, distance becomes an insurmountable task. With the police hot on their trail, Rachel soon realizes there are darker forces hunting them - a group of mortals recruited by the gods who will stop at nothing to preserve the power of the Hedonesses - not to mention Eros himself, who is desperate to reverse the curse . . . Rachel must learn to do what no Hedoness has done before - to resist her gift - or she'll turn the Ben she's grown to love into a shadow of himself ... for ever

[Turn on your audio and press the speaker:)] Originally titled as Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes [Poppy Turner] She has the blonde hair, the blue eyes, the loving family and the perfect boyfriend. But on the road she walks in life, things are ever-changing. She finds part of her heart falling for another person while part of it stays in the relationship. The girl who used to describe her life as "supercalifragilicexpialidocious" may have to find another adjective. [Valentina Russo] With a dead mother and a drunkard father and a suspiciously tame rottweiler, her life is not the pink-castles-and-fluffy-cotton-candy-cloud type. She has a passionate dislike for Poppy Turner because the latter has seemingly captured the heart of the former's crush Flynn Grayson. Meanwhile, Valentina's ex (who coincidentally happens to be a person Flynn hates) transfers to her school out of the blue and complicates the whole situation.

When Vienna dreamed of her future as an artist, she didn’t imagine being the starving kind but life hasn’t quite turned out as she envisaged it. Stuck in a dead-end job and living with her sworn-enemy-turned-best-friend isn’t where she thought she’d be at 23: adulthood isn’t turning out quite as she planned. It doesn’t help that she has her mother breathing down her neck, forcing her to jump through life’s hoops. When a serendipitous meeting comes her way, she has a choice to make and a risk to take: she can play it safe and keep painting by numbers or she can begin a new canvas and risk losing everything to find the joy her life is sorely missing. The natural reaction is to do what any struggling artist would: Vienna quits her job, the only safety net she has, to pursue her dream.
