The Runaway Cupid

By Tanya G Govender

The Runaway Cupid

In the glittering small town of Sweetwater, Valentine's Day isn't just a holiday - it's a way of life.

Every lamppost sparkles with pink tinsel, the air smells of cinnamon and roses, and the town's beloved Golden Retriever, Cupid, leads the famous Valentine's Day Parade as its grand marshal. But when Cupid suddenly slips his leash and vanishes into the snowy streets, Sweetwater's heart stops beating.

With the adults in chaos, three unlikely kids - Leo, Maya, and Sam - take matters into their own hands.

Armed with courage, clever thinking, and a trail of red silk ribbons and half-eaten cookies, the trio races against time through chocolate shops, snowy backyards, and hidden corners of town to bring the runaway star home.

Along the way, they discover that love isn't just about roses and celebrations - it's about friendship, loyalty, and never giving up when someone you care about is lost.

A heartwarming adventure filled with humor, mystery, and unforgettable moments
Perfect for dog lovers and cozy small-town stories
A feel-good Valentine's Day read for kids and families
