The Cupid Curse by Jen Nicholas

Val EnTine is a woman cursed. As if it wasn't bad enough that her parents named her after the holiday she was born on, fate made up for it by giving her a non-existent love life. But here she is, weeks before her twenty-eighth birthday, without the presence of a significant other yet again. Val decides to throw caution to the wind and call on Cupid for help. So after doing a little research, writing a heartfelt plea to the God of Love for assistance, and waiting around for a bolt of lightning to jump-start her floundering single state, in walks Gideon. He has the face of an angel, the hands of a piano-playing Beethoven, and the gorgeous brown eyes of melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate. Unable to stop their growing emotions for each other, Val and Gideon set off on an adventure that neither of them had planned. This is one couple who learn that life isn't always easy, that love doesn't always make sense,and that sometimes a curse is really a blessing in disguise.
