As rumblings of secession begin in the south, New Orleans heiress Chantal Therrie is looking for a husband.

As a war brews between the states, Chantal will be fighting her own war between what her heart and her mind want . . . “A story as big, sprawling, passionate, and seething with excitement and danger as New Orleans itself . . . A riveting tale.”—Romantic Times
