Romance Springs Eternal
By Anne Hagan
Romance blossoms in unexpected places and takes life in vibrant directions in this heartwarming collection of stories.
Includes stories by Selina Shaw, Barbara Winkes, Carol Anne Douglas, Anne Hagan, Edale Lane
From rekindling long-simmering desires and confronting painful pasts to finding the courage to embrace new love, “Romance Springs Eternal” celebrates the many forms that passion can take.
In “Butterscotch,” by Selina Shaw a grieving woman’s adolescent fantasy turns into an unexpectedly passionate encounter. “A Late Springtime” by Carol Anne Douglas follows two lifelong friends whose bond deepens into something more as one makes a stunning confession amidst a brilliant bluebell field. A detective returning to her hometown in “Coming Home” by Barbara Winkes falls for her best friend’s sister, forcing her to navigate personal turmoil alongside a dangerous case.
From the rushing whitewater rapids in “The Bend Where I Fell for You” by Anne Hagan that spark an intense connection to “Remember My Love,” by Edale Lane where an unwavering wife helps her memory-loss-stricken spouse regain their cherished moments, these stories explore the complexities of human desire, loss, and the redemptive power of embracing romance when you least expect it.
