Romances of Molly Manton #2

In "Dangerous Love!", Jo finds herself caught between old flames and new suspicions as her boarders—George, the amnesiac with a mysterious past; Sidney, whose marriage is fraying; and librarian Carol, pursued by wealthy suitor Bob—navigate secrets, misunderstandings, and sudden shifts in loyalty. With Bob convinced George is a fugitive and tensions rising, every confession brings both danger and the chance for something real.

In "Was I Just a Good Time Girl?", Gladys—once a girl desperate to escape the slums—finds herself torn between a glamorous life as a model and the painful truth of her past. When her fiancé Wally mocks the very streets she came from, she walks away, finding purpose at a settlement house and a quiet connection with social worker Jerry.

In "Did I Make the Right Decision?", Marie faces a quiet crossroads: Don leaves for a medical residency in Philadelphia, and when she’s given the chance to follow, she hesitates—without his declaration of love, she chooses to stay. Now, alone in her familiar city, she can’t shake the question: was her decision brave, or just safe?

In "The Convict and the Blonde!" from Romances of Molly Manton #2 (1949), Vivian’s engagement to Dennis wavers when Kane—released from prison and burning with the need for revenge—abducts her after a minor accident. As Kane recounts how Dennis framed him, Vivian begins to doubt the man she was set to marry. When they return to Molly’s boarding house, the tension between them deepens, and a fragile connection sparks between Vivian and Kane.
