This is an anthology issue containing multiple romance stories. "My Cheated Heart" follows a woman who becomes entangled with two men—one she initially rejects for being a "chump," only to later regret the decision when circumstances force her to see his true worth. "No Man of My Own" depicts a young woman in financial despair at boarding school who receives unexpected financial assistance, leading to romantic complications and misunderstandings. A third story titled "Love Letters" shows a woman named Marjorie caught between her existing relationship with Arthur and a new romantic interest named Cleve, ultimately realizing that a spontaneous kiss from Cleve represents a deeper connection than she expected. Additional stories include narratives involving characters named Gary, Lois, and Karen, exploring themes of romantic confusion, jealousy, and the realization of true love.
