Be careful what you wish for!
Imagine having a personal cupid-an actual winged being-pop into your life and offer to make your dreams come true. There's one catch. He can help you in only one way: artistically, academically, or romantically. That's what happens to aspiring photographer Allison Jean (A. J.) McCreary. A. J. knows she should concentrate on getting into a top-notch art school, but she's spent five torturous months obsessed with handsome hunk, Peter Terris. And with just one shot from the cupid's bow-thwonk! A. J. will have the undying devotion of handsome Peter . . . forever.
