This collection of fifteen romantic short stories includes a wide variety of careers and situations. There are cops, a farm girl, a teacher, two photographers, a builder, a writer, a bookkeeper, a mechanic, a virtual secretary, and a baby. The six sisters wrote these stories with no consultation amongst themselves, so there is a surprising difference in the scenarios presented.

These stories are great to have on hand when waiting on appointments or during a commute. Great for bedtime as a story can be read in about three or four minutes, and some are amusing as well as romantic.
