Haydee Miller is on the brink of panic. When she was sixteen, she swore that she’d be married by her thirty-third birthday. It’s part of Haydee’s grand Plan, which saved her sanity when her mother died and her father was too overcome by grief to remember he had a teenage daughter. The Plan has guided Haydee for half her life and never failed her.  Until now.
With her birthday looming and no Prince Charming in sight, Haydee is surprised to discover that her bookstore’s newest employee is the gorgeous Goddess of Love, Venus herself. 
Venus is certain that Haydee’s One True Love is the darkly handsome Derek, a world-renowned photographer who has returned to his hometown to settle down.  The only problem?  Derek and Haydee fell in love ten years ago—before he abandoned her without a word of farewell, leaving her with a broken heart and a secret she has never revealed. 
Somehow Venus must heal this damaged woman and reunite her with her True Love. It won’t be easy. Every man in town, married or not, is pursuing Venus, even when she makes herself over into the ugliest woman on earth. Are her goddess powers malfunctioning? Can she make a Love Match without them?

Venus Cronus

It’s not every day that an actual sign seems like "a sign."

Most "signs" are things like, you know, your treadmill breaks, which is clearly a sign that you really didn’t need to do all that sweaty exercise anyway.

Or, that boutique you love has Donna Karan on sale for, like, two percent off, which is soooo a sign that you need to pick up that new little black dress you’ve been dying to indulge in, even if it’s still over your bud get.

Reviews

Praise for Venus Guy Trap

Praise for the first Venus novel, Venus Envy:

"Loved it from the first line. Full of delightful snark and lots of heart!"--Melissa Senate, author of See Jane Date

"Witty, charming, and surprisingly touching. Don’t miss this delightful novel!"--Beverly Brandt, bestselling author of Match Game

"Delicious fun! A sparkling, laugh out loud treat."--Gena Showalter, author of Jewels of Atlantis

"Charming.  Puts a fresh spin on the classic fairy godmother story, and Venus—catty and generous with her barbed wit—is cut from different cloth than the standard well-behaved fairy.  McKelden’s sharp sense of humor pulls plenty of weight."--Publishers Weekly
