Book 2 - Masters at Arms series
When Caid Roe O’Neill finds the lovely young widow, Lisette Moisant, lying half-naked in a cemetery at midnight, he knows he is responsible for her brush with death: he killed her husband in a duel to avenge his sister. If Madame Moisant requires his protection to escape the money-crazed demands of her domineering father-in-law, then he can hardly refuse it.

Lisette Moisant knows the Irish sword master, most skilled and dangerous duelist in New Orleans, is the only man who can keep her safe while she gains the independence that she craves. But who will protect her from this daring Master at Arms…?
