Willow is a free-spirited young mortal living on a commune with others like her. As one of the Magicals who have finally been able to prove their worth as a society to the New World, Willow is looking forward to a happy life-until the summer of her eighteenth birthday when the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece intervene and change her destiny.

Her curse is Eros, also known as Cupid. Her nemesis is none other than his mother, Aphrodite, who despises Willow because her son adores her. Eros wants only Willow and promises to protect her forever, but his mother is controlling and jealous. As Aphrodite makes one shocking attempt after the other to keep them apart, trials and tests stand in the way of what Willow desires most-the love of her life. Willow never imagined Aphrodite's capabilities. Eros, on the other hand, is surprised by nothing, especially when it comes to his mother.

Every Cat Needs a Toy is the delightful tale of a young mortal's journey to find love with a god where they both must do everything in their power to stop his envious mother from carrying out an evil plan.
