    About this ebook

    Cupid’s job is to help find true love for others, but it's a hard job to do when he’s in love with a man who barely acknowledges his existence. Fighting his own desires, he is ready to give up all emotions just to avoid the pain of not having the respect of the one that holds his heart, let alone craving his love.

    The Keepers can find their soul mates among each other, but Cupid is young compared to the one who is meant for him. However, when violence strikes close to home for the Keepers, Cupid is needed to help in the healing process, but only if the soul mates acknowledge their love will the healing begin.

    Is Cupid in time or will time finally run out? Leaving the one who brings couples together, alone and emotionless for all of eternity.

      Chapter 1

      Cupid stood at the bar of the night club with a drink in hand. The cool liquid soothing its way down his throat as the lights pulsed and the music blared. Streamers, balloons, and every other corny Valentine’s Day decoration a person could think of, hung from every corner. Club Gayteway seemed to have hopped on the V-Day express a week early in preparation for Cupid’s day. It truly amazed him how big his day had gotten. As one the youngest Keepers, no one had expected the holiday to be this popular so soon. Though, his was one of the only ones that belonged to a Keeper that focused more on the adults than the children.

      A small grin crept up on his face as he thought of how many times his holiday had led to children though. So really, if it weren’t for him, Keepers like Nick and Harry would have less to do. Not that he’d ever say that thought out loud. Cupid wasn’t silly enough to take on Santa and the Easter Bunny.

      Besides, he had a job to do, no time for being a brat. He scanned the room, desperately searching for the man, or men, he had come for tonight.

      No, it wasn’t to hook up, well at least not for him. He was there to make sure the two men did though, considering it was kind of his job.

      He was a Keeper. Those of his kind created for the sole purpose of giving humanity hope. Cupid was proud to stand beside the likes of St. Nick and Sandman. Some people called them guardians, others fairy tales, either way they all had a specific job to do. Cupid’s was naturally to help people fall in love. He found their perfect match, their soul mate, then guided them toward one another. If he had learned anything over the eons, it was that humans could be as dense as they were stubborn.

      Can I buy you a drink? a husky, yet slightly irritating voice asked.

      Cupid turned his head to peer at the man. Average height, slim build, and eager blue eyes stared back at him. Mister husky voice wasn’t a man, but a kid, no more than sixteen or seventeen at a guess.

      Smiling politely, Cupid shook his head. Sorry, love. I’m a bit busy at the moment.

      Although cute in his own way, the boy held no interest for him. He wasn’t into cradle snatching, yet Cupid saw no need to be rude.

      The young man’s gaze narrowed. What are you, working or something?

      He smirked. Something like that?

      If only he knew.

      So you’re a whore? the kid scoffed and Cupid fought hard not to roll his eyes. Well, if that’s the problem, I’ve got no issue payin’?

      Oh jeez.

      Annoyed, Cupid turned to face the adolescent brat square on. No, I’m not a whore. However, your quick assumption and clear inability to grow a proper beard, suggest you are much younger than you claim to be, he shrugged, at least to get into this club anyway."

      Stiffening, a perpetual frown appeared. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Uhuh, I’m sure I don’t, he drawled, his eyes moving to scan the room again. He huffed out a sigh when the kid continued to stand there scowling. "Listen, we both know you are too young to be here, and way too young to be offering what you are so not willing to give
