Contains 6 stories
Mother's Boy
9 pp · Romance

A young woman falls for Peter, a kind but conflicted man who keeps dodging talk of marriage and their future together—until she discovers he's been held back by his demanding, ailing mother who can't bear the thought of losing her youngest son. When Joan finally confronts the situation, she's forced to give Peter an ultimatum: choose between the life they could build together or stay bound to his mother's chains.

Orchids for Kathy
6 pp · Romance

A former stenographer finds herself adrift in her new life as a wealthy man's wife, plagued by doubts about whether Greg Carter married her for love or on the rebound from his ex-fiancée. When a chance remark at a dinner party plants seeds of jealousy and misunderstanding, Kathy's insecurity threatens to destroy their marriage—until a mysterious gesture begins to bridge the gap between them.

In Sickness and in Health
8 pp · Romance

Laura and Mark's marriage faces its greatest test when ambition and newfound wealth draw him toward another woman, forcing Laura to question whether the love she promised "in sickness and in health" can survive betrayal and heartbreak. As Mark becomes entangled with the sophisticated Karen Tyler, Laura must decide what it truly means to honor her wedding vows—and whether their love can be restored. Set against honeymoon cottages and grand houses, this tale explores how far devotion can stretch before it breaks.

The Two Sides of Love
6 pp · Romance

Peg entered marriage as a carefree game, but when little Tommy arrived, she became consumed with protecting him—so completely that she shut out Clark from fatherhood and their marriage began to crumble. As tensions escalate and the couple drifts further apart, Peg must confront what motherhood has cost her before tragedy forces her to reckon with the price of devotion taken to its extreme.
