Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country.

When two people meet, when eyes glance and lock. And we often say something ‘clicks’; ‘it feels like I’ve known you forever’. Romance begins to brew and to blossom.

In this volume our masterful writers take on the task of describing and revealing the beginnings of a romance, and some may even lead to love.
