Wartime Romances #13
This anthology issue contains three wartime romance stories. "I Was a Lonely Heart" follows a woman whose fiancé refuses to marry her before deploying overseas, only to have him later die in combat—leaving her to eventually reconcile with an old flame. "Two Stripes Against Love" depicts a soldier and woman who become engaged during wartime only to divorce after the war ends, each carrying regrets about their lost love. "Too Good For Him?" tells of a poor woman who falls in love with a wealthy man, Grant, but feels their class difference is insurmountable; she eventually marries him and they plan their future together despite her earlier insecurities about their social standing.
