Spring Blossom — Jill Metcalf

For every flowering blossom of spring, a heart discovers true love...

MAGGIE: As a spirited girl of fourteen, she fell head over heels in love with a handsome stranger -- a love she was too young to understand.

HUNTER: Part Indian, and all gentleman, he was touched by young Maggie's charms and secretly vowed to ask for her hand when she was of marrying age. He did return to her years later -- only to find the shattering truth that had scarred her heart...

For Maggie had turned her back on love -- not even the caring embrace of her sisters and father could ease the dark secret that tarnished her spirit. Until Hunter's gentle touch turned the future into a promise of love fulfilled, turned her sorrow into the sunshine warmth of home and hearth -- and a love that would flourish with the passing of the seasons...

Hero: Hunter McGuire
Heroine: Maggie Downing
