"My Boyfriend Captured Public Enemy No. 1" follows a woman whose boyfriend becomes a hero by capturing a dangerous criminal, only to have his ego grow unbearably as he basks in public admiration. In another story, Joyce Barry works as an assistant to Burton Keith, a middle-aged man who becomes infatuated with her; she maneuvers to have him recognize her abilities and eventually takes his job at his company. A third narrative involves a woman named Diane whose father dies and leaves his estate to be divided between her and her friend Pete Donsen; Pete's greed and malevolence over the inheritance creates conflict that damages their friendship. The issue also includes "Glitter" and "It Takes a Broken Heart," additional romantic tales typical of the anthology format.
Claire adores Bernie, a quiet post office clerk who seems to come alive only when they're alone together—until the evening he spots a dangerous criminal on their bus and quietly alerts the police to capture Public Enemy Number One. When the story breaks in the papers, Claire can barely contain her excitement and rushes to tell everyone, convinced this will finally prove to her skeptical friends what an extraordinary man Bernie really is. But Bernie's reaction to the spotlight isn't what she expected, and Claire finds herself caught between her pride in him and a painful misunderstanding that threatens to shake everything she thought she knew about their relationship.
When a pampered young woman named Diane clashes with Pete, the capable man her father left in charge of the family business, their battles over money and responsibility spark an unexpected attraction—until her father's passing and the reading of his will forces them down a painfully different path. As Diane's resentment festers and she turns to a charming stranger, she'll discover that some hearts break for reasons money can't mend. "It Takes A Broken Heart!" explores what happens when pride and hurt eclipse the feelings that once seemed to matter most.
