An anthology issue featuring multiple romance stories. "Not the Marrying Kind" tells of twin sisters Jane and Margaret whose opposite personalities—one caring and selfless, the other vain and cruel—shape their romantic destinies, with Margaret eventually learning humility through hardship while Jane finds happiness with her devoted husband Arthur. Another story follows a woman named Peg who, despite suffering disfigurement in an accident, finds redemption and love with Paul, an advertising executive, after he looks past her scars to see her true character. A third story depicts a man named Ace who wins a woman's heart at a dance hall, and they plan a trip to Bermuda together, with Ace ultimately proving his devotion by using money meant for the vacation to pay for his mother's medical operation.

Fools in Love!!

A spoiled starlet riding her father's Hollywood connections clashes with Brent Martin, the talented co-star of her new picture—and when his refusal to be charmed by her privilege stings more than expected, she sets out to sabotage the production out of sheer spite. As their on-set battles heat up, Lily begins to see past her own vanity, and Brent's blunt honesty starts to look less like cruelty and more like something she can't quite ignore.
