In the first, a solitary writer discovers a young woman renting a room in his boarding house and realizes she might be the cure for his loneliness, though he struggles to express his feelings and she remains largely unaware of his affection. The second story, "Stubborn Hearts," depicts a couple, Chet and an unnamed woman, who quarrel bitterly after he proposes, with their disagreement centered on his selfishness and her desire for him to stay in one place rather than travel for work, ultimately leaving them parted in cold anger.
Gerry Murray, star skater for the New York Chiefs, plays matchmaker when she takes pity on a shy blonde fan lingering outside the arena—introducing her to Rick French, a quiet teammate who shares her dreams of a simpler life. When Annabella catches the skating bug and trains to join the professional circuit, her ambition begins to strain her budding romance with Rick, and a new suitor named Coley enters the picture. As Annabella chases her place on the team, Gerry watches from the sidelines, hoping her friend will find her way back to what really matters.
Connie runs a quiet inn on Cape Cod with her aging father, until Paul Marquette arrives seeking solitude to work on a mysterious writing project—but as winter deepens, their tentative connection grows complicated when Connie's desire to understand his painful past threatens the fragile trust beginning to form between them. Paul reveals he's a war veteran struggling to rebuild his life after failed dreams of teaching philosophy, but his story—and the secrets he's been hiding—test whether Connie's compassion can bridge the gap between them.
When Chet proposes to Louise after just five weeks of whirlwind romance, what should be the happiest moment of her life turns into a bitter quarrel—he's been offered a traveling engineer's post that will take them away from everything she knows, and he refuses to choose the permanent job that would keep them rooted at home. Their engagement ends that same night in cold silence, but when a chance encounter at a riverside picnic forces Louise to watch Chet with another girl, she realizes how deeply she's lost him—until a desperate situation on the water puts everything in a new light.
A sixteen-year-old girl resents her mother's decision to hire her neighbor Ned, a law student, as her evening bodyguard—until she discovers feelings for him that run far deeper than resentment. When Ned's attractive classmate Helene arrives for a study session, Nancy takes drastic measures to prove she's a woman worthy of his attention, not the child he sees her as. As schemes unravel and secrets spill out, Nancy must find a way to show Ned the real evidence of her love.
