In four stories about special weddings, readers find out what happens when a Scottish nobleman awakens in a bridal shop, a con man is freed from prison with a wedding proposal, a time machine journey transports characters to Regency England, and a Celtic warrior claims to be the long-lost betrothed of a museum curator.

The widow Hawkins marries him to get help for her farm, but the attraction between them makes Jack wish he'd never escape this sweet captivity...
