Cupid Grants a Second Chance
A swoony, slow-burn romantic comedy for anyone who's ever wondered... what if?
Assistant producer Lexy Smith may have trouble deciding what to order in a restaurant, but there are two things she is absolutely clear on. One, her boss will only promote her to producer if she comes up with a brilliant show idea that can’t lose. And two, she’ll never date a guy friend again.
Charismatic frontman of a local band, Nate Douglas knows Lexy from his day job as a studio sound tech. When she confides her idea for a new reality show, Nate dives in to help her craft a first-rate pitch.
Their friendship is on fire, and the show—where contestants compete for a second chance with someone from their past—becomes the hottest thing on the air.
Her dream job. Her dream guy. Everything is falling into place better than she could have imagined…until the night it all falls apart.
Vulnerability, fueled by rum cocktails and the perfect soundtrack, turns friendship into fireworks, with a promise of something more. But then her best intentions backfire, leaving Nate feeling betrayed. And Lexy devastated.
Like the show’s contestants, Lexy and Nate have a choice. Will they let their past hold them back? Or will they, with a little help from Cupid, win a second chance at love?
Set in the bustling city of Seattle, "Cupid Grants a Second Chance" is a heartwarming tale of friendship, love, and the power of following your dreams. Fans of The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory will love this charming romance.
