"Strange Destiny" follows Carol and Jack, a couple whose relationship is tested when Jack admits he went to see a big-shot movie producer without telling Carol, leading him to confess his ambition and ultimately choose love over career when Ralph Langwell arrives to claim Carol's affection. "For the Love of Money" depicts a woman who pawns her engagement ring to a pawnshop owner named Dan Borden, then later retrieves it, only to be confronted by the pawnbroker at her home demanding she marry him or he'll expose her actions. "Love's Guiding Light" and "My Wayward Romance" round out the issue, though their specific plots are not fully visible in the sampled pages.
Carol Jordan's dreams of dancing stardom with the charming Jack Wilson crumble as his wandering eye grows impossible to ignore, and after two years of grueling one-night stands, she flees westbound seeking peace. On a train bound for the college town of Bramfield, she meets another young woman named Carol Knoll—strikingly similar in appearance—who speaks of a welcoming new home and a kind chemistry professor waiting there, until tragedy strikes and leaves Carol Jordan facing an impossible choice.
Lorrie Taylor arrives at the exclusive Hotel Graystone with nothing but her life savings and a scheme—to snag a wealthy husband and escape her modest means. When she meets the charming and seemingly rich Bill Meadow, she's convinced she's found her ticket to the diamond-studded world she's always wanted, and as the days unfold in a blur of swimming, tennis, and stolen moments, Bill declares his love for her. What Lorrie discovers about what truly matters may surprise her as much as it surprises the reader.
When headstrong Fern rebels against her father's warnings and strikes out on her own, her taste for reckless thrills—speeding in a hot rod, defying small-town gossip—lands her in the company of Nick Frazer, a charming drifter who sweeps her away with promises of romance and escape. But Fern's hunger for adventure blinds her to the danger she's walking into, and she soon discovers that some choices carry consequences far heavier than a lecture from home.
