About this ebook
Finding love should be easy, but wedding photographer Pheobe Ward knows better. When Cupid shows up on a crazy mission to help her —and save the world in the process—Phoebe realizes love might be even more complicated than she thought. Even with Cupid showing her Mr. Right , she can't stop thinking about his best friend, Mr. Wrong.
Cal Crawford has never had time for love, but now he's falling for Phoebe. Which means it's got to be just plain wrong to set her up with his best friend, right? But even though seeing Phoebe with someone else will break his heart, he can't walk away from her.
Phoebe can't afford to choose the wrong guy with the fate of the world at stake. But maybe Cupid has it wrong. Maybe she has to rely just a little bit on Cupid, and a whole lot more on her heart.

2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5 StarsPhoebe Ward has almost given up on finding love, now finding herself at her ex-fiance's wedding as the photographer. Of course she couldn't say no, because she is really good at what she does and she is happy for him, yet that pang of jealousy is still there. It's not because she wants him, but because she wants someone. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that is in the cards for her. She shrugs it off, and then finds herself meeting Cosmo, who just happens to be Cupid's son. When Phoebe finally is convinced that he is who he says he is, she is given the ultimatum of finding love by Valentines Day in order the save the world, or risk love being removed from it forever. Cosmo has a plan, informing Phoebe about who her soul mate is and trying to help her by arranging for the two to "meet." Phoebe is on board with whole thing, until she meets Cal, her supposed soul-mate's roommate. Cal is quite the hottie and is throwing a wrench in her plans, causing her to have feelings and doubts that she doesn't think she has time for, or does she? This is a cute short novella that is sweet and entertaining. It's the perfect Valentine's Day story, which can be enjoyed at any time of the year. This sweet little romance is a lot of fun and the perfect read for when you don't have a lot of time, yet want to enjoy a heartwarming little romantic fix.

For Melissa, who suggested I try to write a novella for Entangled.
Chapter One
Six years in photography had taught Phoebe Ward one thing. Being the photographer at someone else’s wedding was the next best thing to being the bride in your own.
Unless, of course, that wedding happened to be your ex-fiancé’s.
The glowing bride and groom gave a final wave as Phoebe snapped the last picture. She lowered her camera and sighed. Quitting time—thank goodness. She wasn’t sure she could have endured one more minute. Not that she didn’t want Kyle to be happily married to someone else. She did. After all, she had never really loved him—not in the way he deserved—and he obviously hadn’t loved her. She swallowed the lump that lingered in her throat and went to find her camera case.
At least they’d broken up on amicable terms, which was why she agreed to be his wedding photographer. But that didn’t mean a pang of envy hadn’t hit a direct bull’s-eye on her heart at the start of the ceremony and dug deeper with each kiss throughout the reception.
Phoebe had seen the way the couple looked at each other. The way they’d shared secret smiles during the evening exposed the gaping hole in her heart and loneliness in her life. That was when she’d realized something was utterly wrong with her: she had never been in love. Not completely and truly.
And she doubted she ever would be.
Phoebe removed the strap from around her neck just in time to see the bride’s mother, smothered in green taffeta, waving a checkbook at her. Don’t you just adore weddings the week before Valentine’s Day?
she said in a singsong voice.
For a single girl, someone else’s wedding and Valentine’s Day meant double the torture. But since the bride’s mother had yet to sign the last payment check for her photography services, Phoebe pasted on a polite smile and nodded.
The woman let out a booming laugh. Ha! You don’t have to agree with me, you know. I’ll still pay you,
she said, shaking her pen at her. And true to her word, she signed the check and promptly handed it over to Phoebe.
Phoebe chuckled, tucking it into her jacket pocket. "Okay, maybe not. But it was a beautiful wedding—Valentine’s or not—and I hope your daughter and Kyle have years of happiness. It’s nice to see someone find love, at least."
The woman clucked her tongue. Alone for Valentine’s?
Phoebe bristled at the presumption, even if it happened to be 100 percent true. No, I—
The woman held up a heavily ringed hand. "Take it easy, honey. I’m a mother of four young women. I’ve become adept at reading body language and yours is emanating
