Between the Mirror and the Heart - A robot is ordered as a lover for a human woman, and as he adapts to his humanity, he realizes his human buyer is having second thoughts about their relationship.

On the Beach - The last caretaker of a lonely space station is stuck there alone for three months to shut down the systems, so the station computers come up with a plan so she'll have company.

Stranger in Town - Desperate to survive in the harsh 21st century dystopia, a mother agrees to be a mail-order bride to rich foreign businessmen, but what will she have to give up in order to provide for her family?

When Words Leave Off - During a deep space mission, what else is there for two officers to do except fall in love?

Roots of Deception & A Place in the World - On a faraway world, a woman must decide what she's willing to risk in order to guide her planet to peace after a drawn out war and military occupation, Caught between personal sacrifice and self-interest, she finds that absolute power doesn't come without a price.
