Venus Guy Trap

Haydee Miller is nearing a crisis. At sixteen she resolved that she would be married before her thirty-third birthday. That resolution, part of a carefully constructed scheme, carried her through her mother's death, after which her father was so consumed by grief that he seemed to forget he had a daughter. For half her life the scheme has held, but with the birthday approaching and no suitor in sight, it appears to be unraveling.

A new hire at her bookstore turns out to be Venus, the goddess of love, in person. Venus has decided that the perfect match for Haydee is Derek, a celebrated photographer who has come home to his hometown to settle down. There is a complication. Haydee and Derek were together ten years earlier, and he left without a word, leaving her heartbroken and holding a secret she has never shared. Venus must mend Haydee's wounded heart and bring the two of them back together.

The task proves harder than Venus expected. Every man in town, married or not, is chasing her, and even her attempts to disguise herself as the most unappealing woman alive fail to stop them. Is her divine power slipping? Can she bring about a successful match without it?
