Description

Vivian Arceneaux was the spoiled daughter of one of New Orleans' wealthiest families. However, the Civil War changed all that. Destitute and alone, she decides to answer an ad for mail order brides and boards a ship for the Washington Territory.

Cole Latimer is the second son of an English nobleman. He's come to America to prove himself in a place where titles do not matter. He's looking for a woman who will want him for himself, not just his father's title and money.

Vivian is determined to win Cole because he represents the safety and comfort she lost. Cole is enchanted by Vivian's beauty. But what happens when they find themselves wed and realize that the other's motives are not what they'd thought?
