"I Gave My Heart" follows Gloria, who falls in love with Tom Burke while he is visiting, only to realize he belongs with her rival when a plane crash brings them together and she must choose between her own happiness and doing the right thing. "Tragic Love" tells of young nobleman Dantus, sent to the Emperor's court, who must choose between marrying the politically advantageous Elena or following his heart for a beautiful orphan maiden, ultimately sacrificing his love when duty to his country demands he return home and marry Elena for the sake of peace.

Contains 3 stories
Love Glows Forever
10 pp · Romance

Gloria has been swept up in the excitement of a whirlwind romance with the dashing Larry Reagen, a visiting engineer, even as her devoted coworker Tom Burke quietly harbors deeper feelings for her. When a dangerous storm forces Larry's plane to make an emergency landing, Gloria's near-brush with disaster forces her to confront what—and who—truly matters in her life. A touching story about finding clarity in crisis, "Love Glows Forever" reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful love isn't the most glamorous.

The Ugly One
3 pp · Fantasy, Romance

When a young woman falls for a mysterious man who spends his days diving at Malibu Beach, she follows him into an underwater realm where her protective father isn't quite what she expected—and neither is the truth about her new love. In this 1961 fantasy, First Kiss offers a romantic encounter that turns the whole picture upside down when a hidden world and family secrets come to light.

I Gave My Heart
10 pp · Romance

A young woman named Mona Darrel meets the charming and sophisticated Dirk Agnew and quickly falls under his spell, but her lifelong friend George Haggard grows increasingly suspicious of the mysterious stranger's true intentions. As Dirk sweeps Mona off her feet with romantic gestures and daring adventures, George's warnings and a troubling incident at the country club plant seeds of doubt—leaving Mona torn between the excitement of new love and the nagging questions about the man who's captured her heart. Will Mona discover the truth about Dirk before it's too late, or will she trust her feelings over her friends' concerns?
