Described as romance shorts - with definite twists and turns in every tale - this volume contains: The Odds/Without Prejudice: A young woman, without realising it, meets a man on the run from the law. Sparks fly but he must keep running. Time passes...she gets engaged to a law man. What happens when the woman and the convict meet again? Her Own Free : An impetuous girl agrees to marry a Boer millionaire for his money. After an accident which keeps the couple separated for a year, she's not so sure that she wants to be married...The Consolation Prize: A young woman, in love with a local farmer, agrees to marry an eccentric lord to save her family from poverty. But rather than two lives being ruined by sacrifice, her sister proposes a shocking solution. Her Freedom: A free-spirited girl calls off her engagement - not in the usual way, but by an announcement in the Society columns. her soon-to-be former fiance responds by posting the wedding date in the same column. She then meets a wild, bushy bearded Canadian man and rather than allow her mischievous cousin Dick to polish off the Canadian's rough edges, she thinks he will 'do' just as he is. Is this true love? Or infatuation? Death's Property: A wealthy man, disillusioned man returns to the seaside village of his birth, disgusted at the world and himself for having served the 'God of Gold' for 20 years in America. Irritated by a shrill American accent, he finds the voice belongs to a real beauty. But according to her cousin, she is 'untouchable...' The Sacrifice: When a young Society girl's admirer is falsely accused of forgery, she will do anything to clear his name...she will even submit to blackmail...
