Pregnant. Broke. Alone. Late one night, Bettie Gay Bryson finds herself sitting in a police station in Tucson, Arizona. Her cowardly ex-boyfriend held up a store and took off, leaving her there to face the law. Leaving her with only the clothes on her back--and the baby growing inside her. Greg Tyrrell, hard-driving investigator for the county attorney, offers her a deal. No prosecution, plus her living expenses paid- if she'll act as bait in his plan to snare the ruthless head of a baby-selling ring. What choice does she have? B.G. agrees. This decision marks the beginning of her new life, especially when she starts to fall in love with Greg Tyrrell--the man who leads B.G. and her baby into danger...and out of it. 9 MONTHS LATER
