    Sweethearts was the first monthly romance title. The developing relationship between Don and Joyce is challenged because Joyce's aunt refuses to sell her land to developer Don. A tale of love in the Old West opens with this great paragraph: "She was baptized by the blaze of gunfire and reared in the shadow of the outlaws' code! Yet - like some rare desert bloom whose splendor shines even in the drab, acrid wastes, Frances Kirby grew into radiant womanhood. The tall, lean stranger, Slim Darill, looked to her as he did to the rising of each morning's sun.... But she was pledged to an outlaw's world - and he to the laws of justice!" Barbara has a nervous breakdown and is found and nursed back to health by handsome Milton and his mother. One Tragic Night; No Stronger Bond; Our Tomorrow; My Loves Executioner. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
