Young and beautiful Felicite is the toast of New Orleans, her kindness and virtue an example to other young women. Daughter of an outlaw merchant, sister to the dangerously handsome swashbuckler Valcour Murat. Felicite's honor is well protected, father and brother the only men in her life. 

However, such a beautiful and prominent young woman cannot remain sheltered forever. The ruthless Lt. Colonel Morgan McCormack forces his way into her life, making her his mistress with the threat of her father's death.
