Contains 6 stories
Love Never Lies
5 pp · Romance

In "Love Never Lies," Elaine’s hat blows off on a bridge, and Tom Anderson, seeing her reach for it, jumps to the wrong conclusion—thinking she’s trying to end it all. When he offers comfort, Elaine, caught off guard, spins a lie about a heartbroken romance with Ken Evans, her brother-in-law, and finds herself swept into a romance she never meant to start.

Your Man!
2 pp · Romance

In "Your Man!" from I Love You #40 (1962), a quiet but firm message about traditional gender roles takes center stage. The story gently warns that a woman’s dominance—whether in games or at home—can erode a man’s sense of self and, in turn, weaken the love between them.

Mostly Engaged
5 pp · Romance

In "Mostly Engaged," Jo and Paul Knowles find their lives unexpectedly intertwined during a rainy weekend when a chance meeting turns into a fleeting, heartfelt connection—just as Paul’s brief leave in town begins to wind down.

The Right Man
1 pp · Romance

A young woman finds her hat snatched by the wind on a bridge—but when a stranger named Tom Anderson rescues her from what he thinks is a suicide attempt, she lets him believe the crisis was real. As they fall genuinely in love over the following weeks, Elaine struggles with the lie that started it all, watching it threaten to destroy everything between them. When the truth finally comes out, she realizes that the foundation she built their romance on has crumbled, and must race against time to find Tom before he leaves town for good.

A Boy for You
2 pp · Romance

A high-society debutante meets a principled young doctor at a dinner party, and despite their clashing worlds—her frivolous life of luxury against his work in the city's poorest neighborhoods—an unexpected attraction sparks between them. When Mitzi impulsively drives Dr. Corey to deliver a baby in the slums, she discovers a side of herself she never knew existed, and finds herself drawn back to help the struggling families he serves. As their paths continue to cross, Mitzi begins to wonder if the life she's been living has been missing something far more meaningful.

Suitable for Kissing
10 pp · Romance

In "Suitable for Kissing," Dr. Ben Corey is both intrigued and unsettled by Mitzi Ragnall—drawn to her despite her mysterious absences and the startling comment he once made about her dress costing enough to feed three children for a year. When he learns she’s been studying to become a nurse, his perception of her begins to shift in ways he doesn’t expect.
