Life in the gutter of New Orleans isn’t pretty. Baby Jade makes ends meet as a stripper in a seedy club, working for less than she deserves for an unscrupulous slime ball. No father. No mother. No other option but to take care of herself the only way she knows how. Lucky is a drifting hard-ass with a backstory no one has been able to crack. Turning his back on the wealth and class of his upbringing, he has spent years on the road in an effort to find himself. He doesn’t deserve her. She doesn’t trust him. When they get together, nothing can put out the fire between them.

Baby Jade has only ever known heartache and loss. When fate steps in, Baby finds a glimmer of hope with the love of her life, Lucky Gauthier, only to have it snuffed out once again. Now, alone in New Orleans, she’s back to living the life she fought so hard to escape. Baby soon realizes that her life is full of dark secrets. Worse, there are powerful people who will stop at nothing to make sure those secrets never come to light. Lucky has fought tooth and nail to break free from his wealthy family’s stronghold. After a tragic accident, he attempts to put some miles between himself and Baby Jade until an unexpected loss pulls him back to New Orleans. Lucky has no choice but to return home and step back into the boardroom. Filling his father’s weighty footsteps, he stumbles across his own dark secrets, putting himself and Baby Jade in danger. Separate, they are each other’s saving grace. Together, they are broken and tormented.

Don't go shining that crown up just yet... Everything in New Orleans is fleeting. NOLA is known for quick flashes of gold and silver. Riches that vanish into the loud, gaudy streets. Jewels during the day lead to cardboard box shelters at night, and Baby Jade has survived it all. She's clawed her way out of the ditches and slums, only to fight her way to the head of the boardroom. However, when another underage stripper goes missing, Jade quickly realizes money doesn't always equal power. No, that's reserved for the ones with the authority hanging between their legs. Like James, Lucky, Gauthier. He's wealthy, desperate, and hung like a damn horse. He's also ready to bulldoze anyone in his path to take back his power. Broken and tormented, will Lucky and Jade still be each other's saving grace?
