Cosmic Cupids by S.C. Principale

On the Comet Stalker, a diverse crew of Felids, Canids, and humans has created a harmonious found family. Some have even found love.

Can they summon Cupid into the cosmos to make three matches in one night?

Find out in three short, steamy stories!

Paging Doctor Cupid
Skyla and Dax are in charge of the med bay during the holiday, when Skyla suddenly becomes ill. Will this be the push these friends need to finally confess their mutual admiration and take the leap to lovers? As luck would have it, Dax might have the cure to her particular kind of fever…

One More Arrow
Rugged and handsome widower Jaxson never celebrated Valentine’s Day, since it’s not a Felid or Canid custom. His friend, the rescued human Kaylie, has no use for a holiday that only seems to magnify loneliness. To while away the hours when everyone else seems to be indulging in romance, they end up researching some old holiday customs. When they start to play a Valentine’s Day game, things soon turn hot and heavy. Maybe Cupid has one more arrow left for two lonely hearts after all?

Breaking All The Rules
Elio and Lycen volunteer to babysit the cubs in the nursery on this special night. But once the cubs are asleep, these two unlikely allies finally have a chance to talk about what the future holds for them, and whether they will do what’s expected—or what’s forbidden. Breaking all the rules seems wrong, especially for straight-laced Lycen and determined Elio, but what if being wrong is the right choice?

Cosmic Cupids is a standalone steamy sci-fi romance in the Felix Orbus Galaxy Series.
