After three long years in prison, Jack Waters will do anything to survive. When Garland Lafon, one of the richest men in 1850s New Orleans, offers him a proposition: his fortune in return for wooing and marrying his oldest daughter, Rosalie, Jack jumps at the opportunity.
But things are never as easy as they appear, and this is no different. Rosalie Lafon intends to become a nun, and her younger sister, Corinne, is one of the most beautiful women Jack has ever seen—and it seems her sights are set on him.
But Rosalie isn’t as impervious to Jack as she seems. He is everything she most fears—and desires. How exactly is she to resist this man who reminds her of everything she’s trying so hard to forget?
