Welcome to Love Inc
Maddie
Poor Maddie. She’s been down on her luck lately – she’s gone from a fearsome demi-goddess warrior to downright unemployable after that whole Perseus incident. And thanks to her EX-boyfriend Poseidon spreading rumors, everyone in Olympus knows the whole embarrassing story! Her only humiliating option is to accept a fluff job at Love, Inc., to help mortals fall in love. It’s a tough career change, especially when she’s surrounded by pretty, perfect, and catty nymphs who just won’t let Maddie forget she doesn’t fit in.
To top it all off, she’s got a huge (impossible) crush on her new boss, the gorgeous Mr. Cupid, but getting a date’s been awfully hard for her ever since that whole curse thing; you know, turning mortal men to stone and all that. For a girl who knows all about the deadly arts but nothing about the art of love, this is has got to be the worst job ever. But if Maddie ever wants to stop couch surfing and get back on her feet (er…tail?), she’ll have to toughen up and put on that horrible…pink(?!)…uniform. Oh, Hades.
At least she still gets to shoot things.
Cupid
As Chief Operating Officer of Love, Inc, Cupid looks like he has the perfect, glamorous life. He’s got devastatingly handsome charm, a super sweet bachelor pad, a skyrocketing career, and an automatic invite to the hottest social events in Olympus! Of course, there’s a couple of downsides. None of the other super macho gods can take him very seriously when his business card says “COO of Love, Inc.”; and finding a girl who doesn’t dissolve into incoherent giggles whenever he’s around is actually kind of hard!
Plus there’s the CEO of Love, Inc. to deal with – his mother Aphrodite, the lovely goddess who can’t leave her mothering outside of the office. How can he prove to her that he’s no longer that sweet faced baby (naked!) cherub with wings…when she has it immortalized in a mural in the front lobby of your office?!
Medea
Just how does the Original Woman Scorned end up the Guardian of Employment, that is, the head of HR at Love, Inc? In addition to her powers over tax forms and employee payroll, Midge wields powerful sorceress magic, so no one will ever risk getting on her bad side. The question is, does this perpetually grumpy faded beauty ever have a good side? Everyone wants to know what’s up with that golden sheepskin hanging in her office cubicle, or the story behind her ex-husband Jason…but is it worth her fury to find out?
Cyril
Poor Cyril suffers from severe under-appreciation down there in the IT department. Sure, he’s the genius behind the inventions of Love, Inc. – things that let the Love Squad fly, turn invisible, and even those magic arrows that cause mortals to fall instantly in love, but it’s really hard to be the only tech-minded person in a company all about flirtation and glamour. Luckily for his professional sanity, he’s got a new best work buddy in Maddie!
Tiny
Tiny’s a minotaur with many talents. When he’s not at his day job holding off invading armies while merrily skipping through Labyrinths, you might find him baking a batch of scones with homemade lemon curd or offering home decorating advice to trendsetting Olympian socialites. When everyone else turned their backs on Maddie, he came to the rescue with a cup of tea and invited her to stay with him – proving his best quality would be his loyal heart!
