That is until he returns from university to discover his family ruined, his inheritance stolen, and his childhood sweetheart Camilla taken by the conniving Chester Marion.

Camilla, trapped in New Orleans and powerless to her position as a kept slave and Chester's brutish behaviour, must learn to do whatever it takes to survive"--.
