A.J. McCreary has spent five miserable months pining after Peter Terris, the gorgeous guy who barely knows she exists. She should focus on her photography and getting into art school. Then a real cupid appears in her life, complete with wings and magical powers. He makes her an incredible offer: he can grant one wish in either academics, art, or romance. A.J. faces an impossible choice. She could use his help to boost her art career and secure her future. Or she could ask him to shoot Peter with his arrow, guaranteeing his eternal love. The cupid's magic comes with a price, and A.J. must decide what matters most. Her artistic dreams battle against her romantic obsession as she learns that getting what you want might not be what you need.
