Destitute, eighteen year old Claire is forced into prostitution, and ends up working in a high class establishment in New Orleans. A chance sighting of her childhood sweetheart, Aaron Kirby, gives her hope that he might help her escape from the ruthless brothel owner, Michael De Rosa. If she does get away, will she find happiness with Aaron on his Texas ranch? Or, will her shameful past be too much for him to forgive? Award winning authors have joined forces to create an exciting new Historical series – Soiled Doves. Each book in the series will be a stand-alone novella with a happily ever after ending. Note: Although Soiled Dove was a term used mainly for brothel/cathouse workers in the 19th Century, we have taken liberties and our Soiled Doves are mostly girls who have had sexual relations outside of wedlock as in some cases they were also known by this term.
