A Love So Deep

New Orleans Louisiana, 1905 Clarissa Stuart is a head strong, independent business woman with a tragic past who has chosen not to walk in her mother s footsteps by devoting her time to her business rather than finding a man to care for her... Why is it that all I am to men is an amusement, something to entertain them? Well, I m sorry to disappoint them, but I am not going to be some man s whore...I am not my mother! Gabriel Lightbourn is a charming, easy going man whose affair with the wrong woman has made him doubt true love. He vows not to give his heart to another woman... Every time I looked at a woman, Colored or White, I saw Sarah. I couldn t bring myself to truly trust a woman again... When Clarissa and Gabriel meet, their idea of love takes a drastic turn in a new and unplanned direction. Both have pains so deep that it keeps them from seeing what s right in front of them. A love deep enough to heal their pain if they only allow themselves to trust it.
