Lord Weston’s elite circles are shaken when his mistresses begin to disappear without explanation. With no evidence of foul play, he enlists an undercover operative to pose as one of his own lovers, hoping to slip inside the shadowy world of a women‑trafficking conspiracy.
Unbeknownst to him, twice the plot unravels as Lavinia, driven by vengeance for her sister’s jilting, infiltrates Weston’s enclave through a halfway house that re‑educates former mistresses. As she gains Weston's trust, Lavinia questions the veracity of her sister’s tale and confronts the deeper crime she has been lured into.
Set against the backdrop of Regency England, the novel weaves intrigue, deception, and the resilience of women caught between love and persecution.
