Love, hope, heartache, joy and triumph. In this uplifting collection of diverse, original love stories, you'll find adventure on the high seas, flirtation in a nightclub, constancy from an unexpected place, yearning for what could be, chaos from a magical plant, and the courage to begin again. If you believe there's someone for everyone, love has the power to heal hearts, and romance should be celebrated, this one's for you.
