Eight tantalizing stories under one cover:

A bomb raid isn’t exactly the romantic proposal he had planned, but if they survive, he’ll make her happy ‘til the end of time.

A cupid trying to shave off a few years of her sentence. Oops, speed dating is a disaster.

All she wants is a second date. Too bad her mouth gets in the way.

Can a haunted guitar bring two damaged souls together or will fate stop the music?


Each story will weave its way into your heart!
