They are the notorious swordsmen of New Orleans, bound by a
brotherhood of loyalty, skill and courage — infamous by
day, dangerous at night, loyal only to each other and the
women they love… At ease making life-and-death decisions between breaths,
maître d'armes Nicholas Pasquale proposes marriage to a
beautiful and desperate stranger, a woman who offers
comfort to his irascible young charge and calmly tells him
the boy needs a mother. It is a challenge he can't resist. Nor can Juliette Armant. Though pledged to the church since
infancy, she's been summoned to save her family in the only
way possible...by marriage. Once she is wed, she will claim
an ancestral marriage chest—and protect its secret contents
from the dubious intent of her twin sister, who wants the
treasure all to herself. Juliette never dreamed such a practical arrangement would
explode with heady desire when a rogue's kiss unleashes the
sensual woman within. But someone is determined to stop the
wedding, willing to go to desperate lengths to claim the
chest, plunging Juliette into a fight to claim a legacy and
a love worth any price.
