Description

This charming collection of stories celebrates Valentine's Day with tales of lovers who need a little nudge from Cupid to smooth the path to true affection. In "Cupid's Arrow" by Victoria Barrett, lovely Amanda Jensen wants to make her card shop a success, but her mother wants her to marry well and has even picked out the man: Bradley. An eccentric bag lady, Chatty, encourages Amanda to live her own life and introduces Amanda to her handsome son, Max. Max warms Amanda's heart, but can she refuse her mother and Bradley? If Cupid doesn't shoot his arrow quickly, Amanda may find herself with more than one bridegroom. Author Elizabeth Bevarly contributes "Top Cat and Tales," a delightful story of a teenaged Cupid who runs afoul of his mother, Aphrodite; as punishment, he is sent to modern-day America in the guise of a cat to do a good deed. But Cupid's matchmaking work is cut out for him: a shy professor, Abby Walden, may lust after her upstairs neighbor in secret, but confronting him in person is another thing entirely. Cupid must rise to innovative heights in Margaret Brownley's "Winning Ticket" when he's required to reunite Paige Roberts and her ex-husband, Jeff. Will sharing a $3 million lottery ticket be enough to reconcile these star-crossed lovers? In "Wheels of Love" by Emily Carmichael, Cupid's agent, Hearts, disguises herself as a 1966 Austin Healey recently purchased by Eric Neal. Eric's engaged to his childhood sweetheart, Mary Elizabeth, but is she really his one true love? And is Eric really Mary Elizabeth's? It's going to take the help of Hearts and her co-agent, Flowers, to find soul mates for Eric and Mary Elizabeth.
