Copacabana #48

After receiving her winning beauty queen sash and a kiss from football star Geoff Manders, Mia Grey takes a job as the football club secretary so she can get to know Geoff. As she navigates office life and the club’s lively social scene, she finds herself drawn to more than just the star player—especially when old friends like Judy Chalmers and Alan Reid, and even the ever-loyal Paddy O'Rorke, offer their own unexpected perspectives on love and ambition.

In "Rien qu'une amie," Gisèle Barais finds herself caught in a web of jealousy and deception when her friend Thierry Leroy’s romantic entanglement with Marie Ducan threatens to unravel their fragile friendship. As tensions rise and secrets simmer beneath the surface, the line between pretense and genuine feeling begins to blur—especially when Lise and Claude Forrest step into the drama with their own quiet observations.
