Ten-Story Love #1 / 199

Leta’s heartbreak over Harry Alton’s sudden breakup takes a shocking turn when her father forces Harry into a rushed marriage—she only learns the truth after they’ve eloped. Now adrift and working as a waitress, Leta tries to rebuild her life, but Harry finds her and confesses he never stopped loving her. In "Blighted Honeymoon," the past and present collide in a story of second chances, secrets, and the fragile hope of a real beginning.

In "The Barrier to Our Love," a young woman torn between her heart and her past must confront the man she loves when his duty forces him to arrest the man who once wronged her family. Michele’s feelings for state trooper Randy are tested when evidence surfaces that Lou—her father’s reluctant ally and the owner of a rural diner—was behind a deadly robbery and the shooting of her brother. As Randy takes action, Michele finds herself caught between loyalty to her father and the truth, facing a choice that could finally let their love begin.
