Cupid swaps arrow for scones in a magical screwball comedy perfect for Valentine's Day! 💖

The Valentine Lines reimagines Cupid—aka Bart McGee—as an underdog ditching the corporate grind of Mt. Olympus, Inc., for small-town life in quaint Mineral Point, Wisconsin. When Bart launches a matchmaking business and falls in love with a local baker, chaos ensues as his meddling Olympus relatives crash the scene. It’s packed with snappy banter, slapstick escapades, mythological mishaps, and thoughtful explorations of love, trust, and self-discovery. It’s a light, literary escape for readers craving whimsy with emotional resonance.

No sex, politics, foul language. 🏆 Manuscript winner/finalist in CIBA (humor) and Southwest Writers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Readers' Favorites Reviews: "A hilarious romp," "perfect for riders who enjoy romcoms and mythological mashups," and "it's a story about love, self-discover, and the chaos that ensues when gods meddle in mortal affairs."

"Liberally sprinkling puns about desserts and romance into the characters’ breezy banter, Sheffield envisions Mineral Point as a cozy midwestern oasis of charming inhabitants. Despite its lightness and humor, The Valentine Lines does touch on some real difficulties with finding a romantic partner, exacerbated by dating apps, hookup culture, and ageism." ~Booklife Review
