Southern belle Jasmin Laurent met a stranger at a ball. A tall, dark, and handsome man who immediately charmed her.

But Jasmin's father had betrothed her to a man nearly twice her age. A betrothal that sat on her shoulders like a death sentence.

Surely a moonlight stroll, though improper for a lady of her status, would do no harm. After all, she would soon be bound to another.

A charming short story in the Civil War Southern Belle historical romance series. The Early Years. When the south was grand.
