When David Hoff, a soldier, arrives at a party thrown by the vivacious Laura Stewart, he finds himself drawn to her quiet twin sister, Lois—but Laura, true to form, treats him carelessly while collecting admirers. Desperate to save David from Laura's callous heart, Lois makes a shocking decision: she impersonates her sister to win his proposal, marrying him under false pretenses. Now the truth is about to catch up with her, and Lois must face the consequences of her deception and discover whether David's heart truly belongs where she hoped.

Stolen Moments!

"Stolen Moments!" explores how one woman's pursuit of security becomes the theft of her own happiness.
