About this book

CAUGHT IN HER OWN TRAP ... Nicola Grey had told the lie only to soothe her battered ego. She had never expected it to get back to Jethro Vallance, the enigmatic man she had met on a cruise and whom she had claimed was the new love in her life. But the news did get back to Jethro, and the consequences went beyond anything Nicola could have envisioned. She soon found herself married to a man she barely knew. And though that seemed to be no barrier to her love, she would have given anything to know what he was feeling.
