A twist on the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros (cupid).

When a god is sent to punish a young woman for angering his mother he is faced with the choice between love and duty. But a god whose duty to bring love to others is not destined to receieve love in return...

Psyche is the most beautiful woman in the world, unfortunately. When the people start worshipping her as the wordly incarnation of the Goddess Aphrodite, Psyche is put in the firing line of Aphrodite's wrath. Wanting to punish Psyche's people for their blasphemy Aphrodite tasks Eros, her son, to exact revenge. But when Eros discovers that Psyche is more than just a pretty face, and realises they have more in common than he ever imagined a god and a mortal could, he has to make a choice between betraying his mother, angering the Gods of Olympus, or finally following his own heart for the first time in his life.

A Wayward Arrow by AmbrosePeters

A story of love, lust, and the soul. In all his years, he had done the bidding of the gods. Made matches of lust and love for whichever maiden or man or god or whichever tide of fate that one so wanted. Never had he ever shot an arrow for himself, nor had he taken anyone as his own beyond that of his bed chambers. It was always for someone else. Not that he minded. What would the God of lust do with someone once he had his fill of them? In his palace, enchanted with maids and servants, the son of Aphrodite and Ares, Eros wanted for nothing because no God, not even the mighty Zeus, dared cross him. Even the god that others feared still did not like to upset his mother or disobey her. That was till he saw Psyche and accidentally felt the full effect of his own arrow. New chapters every Tuesday and Fridays!
