Cupid’s love is indescribable but incredibly powerful.
|
About the Book:
Cupid’s mission is to bring love, joy, faith and hope to the world. He Learns that without love and faith, he will not be strong enough to find and fight the evildoers. Since immortals have no time, he witnesses Moses and the building of the pyramids. He befriends Jesus as a young man and is there to witness him die on the cross and come back to life.
When Cupid’s daughter finds a black book filled with children’s names and amounts of sale, he knows he is sent to Earth to free the children that were sold on the black market. Cupid conquers evil with Love. His love heals and mends hearts. On the way, he finds romance for himself, a love he was unable to escape.
