Samantha's Heart — Pamela Quint Chambers

SNOW BELLS AND SWEET DESIRE

Samantha Spencer had big dreams for a smalltown girl: to be a trailblazer, never just a wife. Her exciting job in Chicago as one of America's first woman reporters put her on the road to fame...until she was fired. Going home for the holidays, she kept her crushing failure a secret. And the last person she'd ever tell was schoolteacher Ben Morgan.

Tall, whip-lean, and handsome, Ben had always insisted Samantha didn't have the heart to be a big-city reporter. But amid quilting bees, the songs of carolers, and the warmth of family, Samantha felt the stirring of new desires -- about Ben. But even as her lips stirred his passion, Ben didn't believe Samantha could be satisfied being married to a schoolteacher -- unless something happened this holiday season to change Samantha's heart...something wonderful.
