About This Book
Ida Carter is the meanest, most manipulative woman in the world. Yet she is widely praised as an expert on romantic love, and her world-wide matchmaking agency is hugely successful. Ida links all three novellas in the present collection. In the first, "Surprised by Joy," Edwin Carter, burned once by love, wants to try again with the beautiful Amy Taylor. But first he must stand up to his tyrannical Aunt Ida, whose company he runs. Ida appears to have a different woman in mind for Edwin, and she orders him to marry her--or else. In the second novella, "Don't You Worry About a Thing," Gwendolyn Parry dreams of a mysterious, masked, rescuing lover--until that dream becomes so true it threatens to turn into a nightmare. In the third novella, "That Fate Thing," Coppy Anderson and Arthur Williams, having been told that they are fated to fall in love and marry, do everything they can to avoid it. But running from fate proves harder than either imagined--and more dangerous.
