Ivory Irons is young, wealthy, and utterly gorgeous. As the only child of one of the richest men in the country, firearm mogul and manufacturer Henry Irons, she has every advantage as well as every male eye that comes her way.

Joshua Barker has never enjoyed coming to town, but must do so regularly to engage in whatever work he can find.

The two are brought together cruelly one night as Joshua halts a vicious attack which pits Ivory as the victim, and despite his best efforts, Ms. Irons proclaims to be in his debt.

What starts out as basic assistance and harmless company turns into a deep, personal, and lustful connection which neither Irons nor Barker knew they could feel.

It isn't long before her father learns of the relationship and demands she cut ties immediately, but her heart does not allow it and the two are cloaked in shame and exile and forced to risk all they know for the love they share…

To Love and War

        Joshua sat on a wooden stool in the kitchen, quiet, listening to the group just on the other side of the door ranting, raving, and rambling about things only they’d care about.  Nothing universal or earth-shattering, no matters of the soul and mind, but matters of vanity, spoils and material insignificance.  Their view of the world had been warped by sloth, gluttony, and the kindness of mass inheritance, not sacrifice.  


Not once had he heard Ivory speak when not being asked a specific question.  


        He’d only had a few moments alone with Ivory, just enough time to say hello, almost an hour prior in a small corridor off from the kitchen.  They were interrupted when one of the members from the security crew entered to collect all hands for more work in preparation.  Neither one of them blinked as he was taken away by the wrist.
