THE STORKVILLE SCOOP "From the Stork's Mouth... " Has reticent rancher Ben Crowe finally decided to lasso himself a wife? After all, the sexy bachelor seems to have taken more than a passing interest in expectant mother Gwen Parker. Although he insists that his duty as Gwen's landlord and neighbor -- and not her allure as a woman -- inspired his attentions, some townsfolk think Ben doth protest a bit too much. Especially since he has been seen showering Gwen with affection and tossing her seductive glances. Loner Ben may have spent the past few years holding the marriage-minded women of Storkville at arm's length, but has new resident Gwen found the way to his soul?
