Plot Summary of Trapped - Wild at Heart 8
"Brenna's so mad she can hardly see straight. Someone's been setting animals traps in the nature preserve behind her house! That's illegal. Of course, she thinks all trapping should be illegal, period. Her older brother, Sage, agrees with her. In fact, he's so angry that she's afraid he's going to do something extreme. "
Ruth Miller, Resident Scholar
