Second Chances

By Jolene Clark

Young Samantha Dillion finds she had to go back home after ten years to witness the reading of her maternal grandmother’s will. After leaving home, she finds a new life back East as a romance novelist under a nom de plume. Once she arrives back home, she runs into Ben Johnson, a man she had been in love with in high school but who had stepped aside and married her cousin Julia. But coming back opened too any questions for Sam, and the feelings for the young pastor that she thought were gone once more filled her thoughts. The young reverend, now divorced from Julia, found he, too, was attracted to Sam and would do all in his power to make her stay this time. It was young Ben who found out it was Sam’s Uncle Charles who caused the breakup of her parents and concealed his whereabouts from Sam. It’s Ben’s love for Sam that wins her, and together they find the happiness they deserve with their baby girl Tally.
