My Secret Life #22

Gloria Paige meets Tom, her best friend's cousin, and feels an instant spark—so much so that within weeks, he's proposing and planning their wedding. But when Tom is sent out west for two months on business, loneliness and a well-meaning friend's persuasion lead Gloria to a party where an overeager dance partner plants a kiss just as Tom arrives home early. Now Gloria must convince Tom that a stolen kiss in a moment of weakness doesn't erase the love they've built, before their engagement becomes another casualty of misunderstanding.

As Joe's advertising business grows with Beth's help and their romance deepens, a conflict over his divided loyalty between his new love and his duties to the police force threatens to tear them apart. "No Law Against Love" follows this couple as they navigate jealousy, duty, and a second chance at happiness.

"Wanting You" captures that sweet 1950s moment when real love conquers doubt.
