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 stepped out from the carriage, Hooverton let him know they’ll be in touch about a pre-employment tour.  Joshua thanked him and slowly made for the barn, reaching for the folded up paper in his pocket.  He waited until the carriage was completely out of sight before unfolding the parchment, written on it were the words see you tonight at the barn.  He smiled and stuffed it back into his pocket.  


        Upon reaching the barn door, Joshua put his ear to the wood and listened.  Only silence.  He considered that maybe Joseph had gone back to sleep, lord knows he himself wanted to, and there wasn’t a chance Brody was still in there.  Wherever Brody was, he let everyone know that he was there.  Joshua pushed gently on the door to see if it’d been locked since his departure, it hadn’t, and it cracked open.
