All Romances #3

In "The Whole Town Talked," tennis player Leta finds herself married to the charming but distant Jonathan, whose real motive was to mentor her without scandal. As their marriage remains cold and unfulfilled, Leta grapples with loneliness and betrayal—especially when her ex, Speed, shows interest only in her money. After a devastating injury ends her career, Jonathan finally reveals his true feelings, leaving Leta to confront the emotional cost of their arrangement. The story, illustrated with quiet intensity by Kenneth Rice, unfolds with poignant realism, and the cover by Alice Kirkpatrick captures its bittersweet tone.
