    About this ebook

    In these three short, short stories, the God of Love, Victor Valentine, does his best to add to the world's supply of love. Or, at least, to help settle some scores. But even when managed by an expert, love remains what it always is — exciting, unreliable, heartbreaking.

      As I drove slowly towards the mob of angry protestors and my meeting with 200, I thought of 199. The ashes of a once hard man, staring at me with wide eyes that pleaded for hope like a dog begging for treats. I’d somehow found a way to give him that
