She is hired to paint the impressive manor house of Louisiana cotton farmer Taylor Clairmont -- a conniving landowner with less-than-noble intentions.

With his broad chest, raven hair, and chiseled features, he is by far the most handsome man she's ever seen.

But his decision is no match for his destiny...
