This anthology issue contains two stories: "Pathway to Paradise," in which a woman named Miranda struggles with her aging father's unpredictable behavior and financial hardship, ultimately deciding to sell his paintings to raise money for a boat, and "Faith in My Love," a courtroom drama where a woman must provide reliable witnesses to corroborate her faith in her defendant lover's innocence regarding a stolen jewels charge. The issue also features a cover story involving a woman in a red dress and romantic entanglements between multiple characters.

Contains 5 stories
Afraid to Be Married
7 pp · Romance

A young woman plagued by doubt about marriage accepts a proposal from Dick, only to discover troubling incompatibilities—and to realize his attention is being monopolized by her well-meaning but controlling aunt Carol. When she breaks the engagement and flees to Florida for a fresh start, she finds her past following her in unexpected ways.

The Perfect Dinner Date
1 pp · Romance

A young woman learns the essential rules for making a dinner date truly special—from choosing appropriate attire and letting her escort select the restaurant, to mastering table manners and gracefully accepting his dining suggestions. This practical guide walks her through each moment of the evening, covering everything from the moment she arrives to how she should interact with her date and the staff.

Faith in My Love
8 pp · Romance

A public defender named Barbara Wyatt is assigned to defend Van Loran, an ex-convict accused of stealing a valuable sapphire ring—a crime the evidence seems to prove, but she believes in his innocence. As Barbara investigates, she uncovers a possible frame-up by Diamond Joe Casey, a criminal from Van's past, while her own feelings for her client grow stronger with each discovery. The night before trial, their professional commitment becomes something far more personal, but the courtroom will demand proof that faith alone cannot provide.

Pathway to Paradise
6 pp · Romance

Miranda’s quiet life on Florida’s west coast—marked by hardship, books, and her father’s fading paintings—is upended when a young stranger washes ashore during a storm. As she tends to him, an unexpected connection begins to bloom between them, threading through the isolation of her days and the promise of something new.

Love Runs the Risks
7 pp · Romance

A young woman watches the boy she loves drift into a wealthy life with someone else, torn between holding on to her memories and accepting what seems inevitable—until a chance encounter forces her to make a choice that could change everything. Written with the bittersweet intensity True Love Pictorial brought to small-town heartbreak, "Love Runs the Risks" captures Lona's desperate gamble to remind Howie of the dreams they once shared, before pride and family pressure bury them forever.
