description: Caught in a Trap of Her Own Making
  
  Clemma Wells had only meant to buy time with the desperate story that she was carrying Will Brandt's child. She never suspected that Tom Cord would offer to marry her and give her a way out. If she told the truth now, she would be sent home in disgrace, and what would Cord do when he found out that their marriage was based on a lie?
  
  She owed her life to the renegade Brandt, but his actions had branded her a fallen woman. Torn apart by her own stubbornness and pride, Clemma struggled with her decision. For it was becoming increasingly clear that it was to Tom Cord she owed her heart.
