Rosamunde Pilcher's "Lalla" is transformed from a girl to a woman during a lazy summer on the Cornish coast. Ms. Pilcher also entrances with a second story in this breathtaking collection, "A Girl I Used to Know." Catherine Cookson's "Miss Geraldine Parkington" bids a bold farewell to a long life of loneliness and longing. Daphne Du Maurier's sleepy-eyed siren tells the young man who follows her home on a dark London evening to "Kiss Me Again, Stranger." For romantics everywhere, Love Stories is a bouquet of fiery passion and lingering sweetness.
