My Terrible Romance #1

In "Man-Hater," Jane—still reeling from her high society beau Billie’s rejection—turns her fury on men, targeting servicemen with a mix of charm and manipulation. Her latest scheme lands her a marriage proposal from soldier Ted Winters, who’s just inherited a farm, but her deception unravels when another soldier exposes her as the notorious "camp chiseler." Ted’s unexpected defense forces Jane to confront her own feelings, leading to a moment of reckoning she never expected.

In "My Tarnished Reputation," office worker Billie Tanner faces ruin after confessing to falsifying company records—though she’s shielding Bob Metcalfe, her boyfriend and the boss’s son, who actually stole the money to cover gambling debts. With her reputation shattered and her father also let go, Billie confronts Bob at his parents’ home, where he finally admits the truth and pleads with her to marry him.
