☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains multiple confession stories about romantic entanglements and deception. One narrative follows a woman working as a hotel section manager who schemes to injure a coworker named Mike to win the affection of another man named Judy, leading to a dramatic car accident. Another story chronicles a young woman's pursuit of a singing career in New York, where she is groomed by a talent manager and signs a contract with a nightclub owner, only to become entangled in romantic complications with multiple men. The stories explore themes of ambition, jealousy, and the consequences of using romantic manipulation to get ahead.
A salesgirl's dead-end routine drives her to trade hearts for ambition—she plays three men against each other, each one a rung higher toward the life she craves. But when a schoolmate she once knew reappears and her web of deception unravels, she discovers that none of her calculated moves have gotten her what she truly wanted all along.
Judith watches anxiously as Mike races at the speedway, but a terrible crash lands him in the hospital—and tests their love in ways neither expected. As Mike recovers, Glennon Dall, the racing syndicate owner, offers him a safer job as a mechanic, a chance at a normal life together that Judith desperately wants him to take. But Mike's restless spirit and Dall's strange interference threaten to tear them apart, forcing Judith to confront what she's really willing to sacrifice for the man she loves.
A farm girl named Martha catches the eye of Frank Cooper, a charming machinery representative passing through town, and the two quickly fall into an easy romance—until Martha's dreams of becoming a singer pull her away to New York for lessons and auditions. Months later, when Frank unexpectedly surfaces in the city, Martha discovers that her success in the spotlight and his quiet persistence have both changed them in ways neither quite anticipated, forcing her to reckon with what she really wants.
When twin sisters May and June choose vastly different paths—one chasing love and glamour, the other lost in books—May's carefree game of breaking hearts takes a dangerous turn the moment her quiet sister catches the eye of someone May actually cares about. As May juggles her chorus-girl ambitions, a persistent suitor, and her feelings for her boss Gregory Roberto, she discovers that playing with emotions has real consequences when the heart on the line belongs to family. Can a girl who's made a sport of romance learn the difference between games and genuine feeling before it's too late?
