Another weak collection of stories by this group of authors (containing a mixture of spells, curses, ghosts, time travel). The two stories by Gregory and Langan were the better ones of the four. Roberts' addition to this collection was just plain weird.

A World Apart by Nora Roberts
Impossible by Jill Gregory
Sealed With a Kiss by Ruth Ryan Langan
Kiss Me, Kate by Marianne Willman
Good not great. Typical contemporary romance from Nora Roberts. Man. Woman. Stuff happens. HEA. Really, it's typical Nora Roberts fair.
