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

        “You sonofabitch!” Joshua howled, struggling to fight his way up to the bar to get at his powerdrunk brother.  The effort was futile as Joseph’s minions rushed alongside him, unaware of Joshua’s gripe, to praise and toast to their newly-crowned leader who laughed and bathed in the adoration of his new subjects.  


        The crowd strengthened, each man charging the one next to him and the one next to him.  The noise had brought curious outsiders into the bar and they’d heard the speech from Joseph and were now in the uproar themselves, leaving little-to-no room for Joshua to progress.  And within moments he was pushed and thrown by the mob through the doors into the street, for the first time realizing the day had gone and it’d turned to night.
