"An excellent and entertaining magical romance."
Magic here and magic there, spells and counter-spells
galore! Nic Stone is a fairy, a fae, who twenty-five years
go loved a mortal woman so much that he bargained with
Titania, queen of the faery folk to give his beloved wife
Anna eternal life. The only trouble was that when he
returned to Anna to tell her, he found her dying. It seems
Titania forgot to mention that to gain eternal life you
must be born into it. It's been twenty-five years and Nic
now seeks his reincarnated and immortal lover, but finds a
puzzle instead. Two women face him, Dianna Fielding, a
popular music star who looks like his beautiful Anna, and
her sister Stacy, who Nic feels an immediate attraction to.
But he believes that attraction is probably the work of
Titania who has her own plans for Nic. If he declares love
for the wrong woman, then he'll be condemned to become the
faery queen's personal slave in the magical realm for all
time. Nic must win his lady to his side and make sure she's the
right one or wind up painting Titania's toenails... or
something like that... for eternity. He knows that Dianna
has to be his Anna, but she's in love with another man and
somehow he doesn't find her kisses half as interesting as
Stacy's. Stacy is used to losing a man's love to her pop-
star sister... it's happened many times before. But there
are a lot of strange things going on. For example Nic tells
her only immortals can see pixies like the ones that infest
her house after she tics-off Titania. So how come Stacy can
see them and Dianna can't? The answer is pretty obvious, but this isn't intended to be
a mystery. The fun comes in watching Nic and Stacy deal
with their dynamic relationship, as well as the preparation
for Dianna's upcoming road show, while coping with
Titania's tricks. The practical jokes that the pixies play
kept things moving right along -- never a dull moment with
them around. And Nic is forever using his magic to make
things right. Believe me, there are times when I'd love to
have someone able to whisk me off to Paris for dinner or to
a tropical island for a couple of days. And you just can't
beat him as a plumber. But when he's forced to use just his innate talents as a
lover, Nic needs no magic just his lips and. . . stamina.
Now if he could just figure out which woman to be using
them on... That's what makes Cupid's Melody an excellent
and entertaining magical romance.

Nic's search to find his reincarnated wife leads him to
sisters, Dianna and Stacy. All he has to do is convince
Diana, the spitting image of his long-lost Anna, to love
him again. Easy for a sexy faery. Except that Stacy is the
one he keeps kissing.
SummaryFaery Nic Stone had no idea he was about to make the
mistake of his eternal life when he asked the Queen of the
Fae to grant immortality to his beautiful bride, Anna. To
become immortal, he discovered only too late, Anna first
had to die and then be reborn...
It has taken twenty-five years for Nic to re-enter the
mortal world to search for his lost love, but he is
convinced that he has finally found her. After all, Dianna
Fielding is the spitting image of his wife. Masquerading as
her gardener, he vows to seduce her heart all over again.
But why is it her sister, Stacy, who makes him ache with
that all-too-familiar longing? Either someone has cast a
spell on him, or Nic is falling in love with the wrong
woman. If he follows the stirrings of his heart, will he
find true love--or will his beloved be lost to him forever?
