Heart Throbs #40
In "Make-Believe Kisses," penniless Arda takes part in a radio quiz show’s risky challenge: win cash by befriending a stranger in the park, with bigger rewards if romance blooms. As her date with Steve deepens, she struggles with guilt over her growing feelings—wondering if she’s just playing a role for the prize. The twist? Steve isn’t just a stranger—he’s the show’s writer, and the whole setup was his quiet plan to win her heart. Art by Ogden Whitney, with cover by Chic Stone.
