In "Love is Blind," Adele’s life takes a sudden turn when an accident in Ken’s lab leaves her blind, driving him to disappear.

"Matrimonial Mistakes" is a straightforward cautionary guide wrapped in comic-book form, laying out the pitfalls that can lead a young woman toward a rushed or misguided marriage—impulsive infatuation mistaken for love, using marriage as an escape from unhappiness, or simply drifting into wedlock out of habit and boredom.

If you can steer clear of these mistakes, the message promises, a happy marriage awaits.
In "Cupid Hails a Cabby," Lindy, a sharp-witted cabdriver used to turning men off with her confidence, tries playing the demure type to win Gene—a private detective who values independence over fragility.

Mary Beth Watson of Atlanta never expected John Hunter to propose in the ordinary way—and when he finally works up the nerve to pop the question, he does it through an unorthodox midnight phone call campaign that tests her patience to its breaking point.

It's a charmingly unconventional love story about how sometimes the most memorable proposals come in the most unexpected ways.

This is an advice feature, not a narrative story—it's a how-to guide on meeting eligible men, illustrated with tips and cautionary examples rather than character-driven plot. There are no known characters, no story arc, and no actual narrative events to synopsis. SKIP
