Vacation Romance
6 pp · Romance

A young woman saves up for years to experience a luxury vacation at an exclusive resort, but when she meets the charming Dale Brown on his beautiful boat, she finds herself spinning an elaborate story about wealth and high society—never expecting the connection to become genuinely romantic. As their whirlwind ten-day romance deepens, a sudden storm forces them both to abandon their pretenses and reveal who they really are beneath the lies.

Shy Guy
2 pp · Romance

A young woman named Judy is head over heels for Larry, a sweet guy plagued by shyness—so much so that she wonders if she'll ever get him to make a move. When Larry finally shows up at her door with flowers and finds the courage to be close to her, a spontaneous moment between them changes everything. What starts as Judy's worry about endless waiting takes an unexpected turn when Larry proves he's braver than she thought.

Forbidden Love
3 pp · Romance

A teacher named Miss Brown clashes with her attraction to Mr. Nester, the charming father of one of her young students—until a family revelation upends everything she thought she knew about the situation. What begins as a guilty secret becomes something far less forbidden when the truth about Mr. Nester's role in the family comes to light.

Office Wife
6 pp · Romance

Karen has devoted herself to her job as Walter Grissom's secretary—handling everything from his memos to his romantic arrangements—while quietly harboring deeper feelings for her boss. When Walter finally begins to see Karen as more than just his indispensable office assistant, she must confront what she's willing to accept and what she demands for herself. A touching 1957 romance about a woman learning that devotion alone isn't enough.

The Secret
2 pp · Romance

When a neighborhood boy playing fortuneteller as "Jo-Jo the Gypsy" peers into his crystal globe during a parlor game, he reveals that a young woman named Judy harbors an unspoken love—and discovers they share the same secret feeling. What begins as a lighthearted neighborhood trick becomes something far more genuine when the truth finally comes to light.

Good Old Harry

A young woman chases glamor and success in New York City, convinced her modeling dreams will finally come true—but when her ambitions crash spectacularly, she discovers that Harry Wayne, the steady, hardworking man who's always believed in her, has been waiting all along. Written by the creators of *Romantic Story*, this 1957 tale explores what it really means to grow up and where true support actually comes from.
