This anthology issue contains multiple love stories. "Too Smart for Love" follows Jeanie, who encounters Leo Reid, a leading young businessman in town. After their high school romance ended in heartbreak when Leo wanted to sell a house they owned together to split the profits, Jeanie reconnects with him years later, only to discover he is now engaged to marry Mary Matthews. The story unfolds as Jeanie's father becomes entangled in a diamond smuggling operation with Leo's father, creating complications that threaten both the engagement and the smuggling scheme. The issue also features the story "Bride on a Bet" and "Down Payment on Love," as advertised on the cover.

Jeanie Gordon, a sharp-witted woman from a remote Oregon lumber camp, finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Ken Harwood, a charming man from her cousin’s circle—only to realize she must downplay her intelligence to win his affection, just as she once lost Leo Reid for being too clever. As she pretends to be unfamiliar with fishing and other simple things, Jeanie grapples with the irony of having to act dumb to be loved, while her growing feelings for Ken feel more genuine than her past romance ever did.

Joyce Norris, heartbroken after her fiancé Kemp Tarleton chooses another woman, finds herself selling the dream house they built together—only to be drawn into a surprising connection with Alex Croyden, a charming man interested in buying it. As she navigates her lingering feelings for Kemp and the growing attraction to Alex, she begins to realize that her true dream was never the house, but the love she thought she’d lost.

Signa, the daughter of a barge captain, finds herself caught between her growing feelings for Rafe Curtis— a man she rescued after he fell overboard—and the dangerous grip Ned Kane, her father’s first mate, has on her family.
