An unnamed bride recounts how she nearly married the wrong man—a scoundrel named Danny—before her father intervened by giving her a deed to a house and encouraging her to leave town. After Danny abandons her for a golf caddy, she visits a supposedly haunted place with a man named Steve, where they encounter what appears to be ghostly activity but turns out to be Steve's relatives playing pranks to scare her away. Steve convinces her to stay, and the story ends with them together. In a second story, a woman named Mona argues with her husband Charles over household expenses; after he leaves her and she obtains the deed to their house from her lawyer, she resolves to be miserable in the house regardless of her circumstances rather than abandon it.

A Honeymoon to Remember
3 pp · Romance

Something Called Love!

A woman engaged to the ambitious lawyer Vic finds herself stranded in a small town after a car accident, where she meets Jim Keeler, a kind-hearted contractor who shows her a warmth her fiancé never has. As Jim and Tessa grow closer over stolen moments and genuine connection, she's forced to reckon with what she truly wants—and what "Something Called Love!" really means.

Honeymoon House

A young bride's perfectionism nearly costs her everything when she insists on having her way about every detail of the honeymoon house she and Charles planned together—until his sudden departure forces her to confront what her stubbornness has destroyed. Alone in the house, Mona spends a week redesigning it according to Charles's wishes, a painful act of penance for her selfishness, only to discover that some bonds run deeper than pride when he mysteriously returns during a violent storm. As they reunite, both realize that their love can weather any argument, and that compromise matters far less than the commitment they share.
