  Charlotte and Denise Dunn own an audio company supporting concerts and conventions. They are pulled over by the sheriff in the middle of the night because their truck is overloaded and has worn tires. Of course, their truck is overloaded. It’s always overloaded, which is why they were passing through this small town in the middle of the night to avoid the weigh station on the Interstate. 
  At their arraignment, the sisters agree to stay in this town, buy tires, and lend their experience and equipment to support the harvest festival in place of fines or penalties. The sisters quickly realize that they have been set up. While the truck was overloaded and their tires were unsafe and should have been replaced long ago, their apprehension on these charges and the offer made to them was no accident. 
  The featured performer at the festival’s concert series was a young girl dying of cancer who had aspired to sing in a professional recording studio. The town’s community theater and the Dunn sisters’ equipment would fulfill the girl’s dream. 
  The sisters called their booking agent to inform him they would be unavailable until after the festival. Far from being upset at having one of his most reliable vendors conscripted in this manner, the agent saw this as an opportunity. He needed a rehearsal studio for a musical group about to embark on their first concert tour. He had worked in that theater long ago and knew the manager. The theater and the Dunn sisters could be the solution to several challenges he faced. 
  With less than a week to promote and execute a show, the agent drafted his granddaughters to help the festival. The girls dove into the new project with all the energy a teen can bring to bear on something they care about. 
  The agent rekindles an old flame. Charlotte’s ex-boyfriend shows up. Denise and a local mechanic with a young son find each other. Other romances happen.

  When the man she loves abruptly sails for Italy, she's left in dire straits--until his brother offers a solution to her dilemma . . . 
   
  Sophie Dupont assists her father in his studio, keeping her own artwork out of sight. In private, she paints the picturesque north Devon coast, popular with artists--including handsome Wesley Overtree, who seems more interested in Sophie than the landscape.  
   
  Captain Stephen Overtree is accustomed to taking on his brother Wesley's responsibilities. Near the end of his leave, he is sent to find his brother and bring him home. Upon reaching Devonshire, however, Stephen is stunned to learn Wesley has sailed for Italy and left his host's daughter in serious trouble.  
   
  Stephen feels duty-bound to act, and strangely protective of the young lady, who somehow seems familiar. Wanting to make some recompense for his own past failings as well as his brother's, Stephen proposes to Miss Dupont. He does not offer love, but marriage "in name only" to save her from scandal. If he dies in battle, as he fears, she will at least be a respectable widow. 
   
  Desperate for a way to escape her predicament, Sophie finds herself torn between her first love and this brooding man she barely knows. Dare she wait for Wesley to return? Or should she elope with the captain and pray she doesn't come to regret it?

  Step into Isaac Asimov’s early foray into science fiction comedy with The Magnificent Possession. First published in 1940, this witty short story follows Walter Sills, a struggling chemist whose “brilliant” discovery—plating metals with ammonium to mimic gold—spirals into chaos. Gangsters, corrupt politicians, and desperate industrialists descend on him, only for the invention’s fatal flaw to emerge: a stench so foul it ruins everything. Part satire, part cautionary tale, this story reveals Asimov’s youthful experimentation with humor and the pitfalls of unchecked ambition.
