Now approaching her twentieth year, an enchanting young woman had been courted by many gentlemen, but accepted none -- much to her mother's chagrin. For the girl, no suitors were able to fulfill the longing in her heart, a longing sparked by her friendship with a notorious society rogue, who was entangled in his own romantic matters. But the girl will discover that love can come in unexpected forms, and that even a rogue can be rendered helpless by its power.... No library descriptions found. |

The gods are dying out, and Harry has to find his wife, Psyche, to save them, and with them, the world. He's sensed her at various times, and knows she's entered the cycle of birth and rebirth, and can tell when she's near, but her identity eludes him.
Harry loves his wife, but he's finding himself wanting to spend as much time as possible with Psyche Hathaway, who's been his friend since she was a child. We saw the development of this back in Cupid's Mistake, when young Psyche was the only one who could see Harry unless he made himself visible. But now she's grown up, and he's torn because he's having feelings for her he'd never had for another woman besides The Original Psyche (TOP). And Psyche Hathaway can't be TOP, because there's no spark of recognition from her.
Our heroine Psyche is likewise torn, falling in love with Harry, but knowing that for the sake of the world, she can't have him.
There's a wonderful blend here of romance, humor, and poignancy that's just a joy to read. Harry's "cousin" Artemis shows up at one point, and gets a lovely romance of her own as well.
My only quibble was that I didn't quite understand how the fate of the gods/the world hinged on Harry finding The Original Psyche.
Now if I could just find Cupid's Darts. ( )
