"Joy" is by Jayne Ann Krentz. A couple take a Caribbean holiday together and win a lovely bracelet from a high-stakes poker game. They suddenly find themselves in danger.

"Impulse" is by Vicki Lewis Thompson. This couple almost wed eight years before. The hero of the story receives an heirloom ring from his mother. The couple decide to try their romance again.

"Trust" is by Rita Clay Estrada. A millionaire spies an uninvited guest at his party. He quickly found himself enthralled with the lady, who owned nothing but the clothes on her back and the priceless earrings she wore for luck.

*** All three stories are copyright 1988. They are set in present time. Each contain a piece of jewelry that contain the magical emeralds from a historic family called Montclair. Personally, I loved the first and third in the book. The middle story I thought dragged too long. Not much seemed to happen. I admit to reading only half of it before moving on to the third story, so it may have picked up later in the story. However, if a book has not captured me in the first chapter, much less half way through it, I feel the need to move on. On a side note, this novel is a follow-up to Barbara Delinsky's book, "Fulfillment". All-in-all, I recommend it for some great reading. ***
