He takes her up on her offer, but on the three month journey by covered wagon, wagon love and trust blossom. When she meets the handsome Seth Colter and hears that he has a ranch in New Mexico and needs money, she offers him twenty-five thousand dollars for the use of his name and a year’s room and board, after which the marriage will be annulled. Her greedy uncle, who will get everything if Morgan does not go acede to her father’s wishes, has made plans to take her to Europe until after the deadline of her twenty fifth birthday. She will inherit only if she marries a man and lives in the New Mexico territory for one year. After her father’s death, a father she has never known, his will is read. Morgan Wakefield was taught by her embittered mother to trust no man. By Jude Deveraux, 1978, Americana/Western (Avon)
