In opposition, they have formed The White League to thwart him and his liberal policies. Determined to find her a husband, Olivia's father Armand Thibodeaux arranges yet another soiree to present Olivia to a suitor of his choice. What he doesn't expect is James Devaroe: a handsome riverboat owner who instantly captures Olivia's attention. Amid the turmoil of the late 19th century South, can the two find their way to happiness?
