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 hated just standing there in the open door beside Brody, saying goodbye to everyone and accepting their thank yous for all the hard work that evening.  Moments earlier, Henry had given Brody the cash for the night but Joshua was too preoccupied watching Ivory to notice how much there was.  They could have both cried for not being able to give each other a proper goodbye, so much so that Joshua refused to watch the door be closed and began walking away from the house before Brody.  


        Henry closed the door on Brody with a nod, turning to Maybella and Ivory with a faint smile.  He cleared his throat before retrieving a cigarette to light and stepped closer to them, tapping the stick on his hand.  “What a nice night,” Henry said.  “I almost forgot!  Rufus will be returning next week.”
