The sun was reflecting brightly off the pristine waters of False River. Across the street, in the beautiful quaint old church, christened St. Mary’s of False River, the largest wedding the church, or the town of New Roads, had ever seen was taking place. Savannah Marie O’Brien, a stunningly beautiful woman, was marrying the wealthy and handsome Cajun, Michael Joseph Devereaux, owner of the prestigious Devereaux Real Estate Company. The parties responsible for the wedding and reception reveled in the fact that the events were of such magnitude, they would never be forgotten by any of the invited guests. Unknown to them, they would also never be forgotten by the one uninvited stranger who quietly mingled among them.In the aftermath of the wedding, Savannah and Mike settled into their steady work together at the Devereaux Real Estate Company.

Realtors began to worry that eventually they might be held responsible for selling sub-standard structures.Unable to get current lawmakers to assist them, realtors look elsewhere for someone to represent them at the capitol. When Savannah decides to run for State Senator, they wholehearted
