A widowed Civil War veteran, Matthew Hawkins doesnβt know what to expect from a night at the Jeweled Ladies. All he wants is one night to feel like a man again. But when heβs paired with Miss Topaz Gold, heβs stunned by how deeply she makes him feel.
Former mail-order bride Millie Townsend came to the Jeweled Ladies and gave up her name because she thought it was the key to her salvation after her husband died. It doesnβt take long to realize she isnβt Topaz Gold. She only wants to be a wife and mother, not a whore. But when Matthew offers to take her away from the Jeweled Ladies, will Millie be allowed to leave?
