Heart Throbs #40

In "Make-Believe Kisses," penniless Arda agrees to a radio quiz stunt: meet a stranger in the park and see if romance sparks—just to win cash. The stranger is Steve, and as their dates grow closer, Arda begins to worry she’s only playing a role. When Steve finally confesses his feelings, the truth behind the game begins to unfold.

In "Latin American Interlude," Margaret, a translator for an export company, finds herself caught between fantasy and reality when a charming visiting client, Carlos Rodriquez, seems to flirt with her romantically. As her hopes rise, she’s blindsided by his true intentions—employment, not affection—leading to her dismissal. But just as her dream of a Latin romance crumbles, a surprising turn of fate offers a new path: her coworker Eddie quits too, and with a bold proposal, invites her to start a life together in South America—as his wife.
