This anthology issue contains at least two romantic stories. "I Tempted The Wrong Boy!" follows a woman who deliberately pursues a rough, popular boy as a game to feel alive, only to be caught up in dangerous street gang activities when she learns he and his gang plan to confront another group. A separate story depicts a young woman named Jane who, after harsh words from her mother about staying home and being lonely, impulsively leaves to find work in the city as a secretary at an advertising agency. The visible pages also include a story featuring childhood friends Terry and Brad, where Terry harbors unresolved feelings after being replaced by others in their social circle years earlier.

Contains 4 stories
Fast Company
8 pp · Romance

A young woman tired of innocent high school fun finds herself drawn to a fast crowd and the thrill of risky romance, eventually catching the eye of the charming but calculating George—a man whose generosity masks far darker intentions. As Joan becomes entangled in George's world, she'll have to reckon with the warnings from those who care about her and confront what her reckless choices have cost her.

I Tempted the Wrong Boy
8 pp · Romance

A girl with a wild streak decides to pursue Lenny Carlson—a charming "wolf" from the local drug store corner—just to prove she can tame him, even if it means breaking up with her steady boyfriend Stuart. As Doris pursues Lenny with boldness that surprises even herself, she discovers there's more to him than his reputation suggests, and her reckless game begins to feel like something deeper. Written by the creative team behind Pictorial Romances, "I Tempted the Wrong Boy" is a sharp look at a young woman learning what her own desires really are.

Office Romances Are Bad Business
7.5 pp · Romance
The Seeds of Sin
8 pp · Romance

Terry has always been everybody's pal but nobody's date, and her desperation to understand why no boys ask her out pushes her to take a dangerous gamble—traveling to a neighboring town to pick up a stranger. When her plan backfires in an unexpected way, she's forced to confront the real reason behind her romantic troubles, and the consequences of trying to force a solution prove far more serious than her original problem.
