(Entertainment News) -- There's nothing like Valentine's Day to make single women feel insecure about their solo statuses.

Thankfully for its female viewers, the Hallmark Channel's hearty offering "Cupid" treats romantically challenged single men and women as equally desperate beings in need of a little love.

Joely Fisher stars in the made-for-TV flick as a workaholic named Eve Lovett who backs into love's arrow.

The unavoidable romance occurs when a mysterious man (Jamie Kennedy) arrives on the set of her talk show with a strange proposition -- if Eve acts as a matchmaker for her viewers, his boss Cupid will help Eve find her true love, too.

Will the romantic mystery man make good on his promise? And how does Eve's handsome producer Rick (Roark Critchlow) fit into the scheme of things?

Find out when "Cupid" premieres at 8 p.m. Saturday, February 11, on the Hallmark Channel. "Cupid" will also repeat at noon and 8 p.m. Sunday, February 12.
