A feckless young brother, and a missing jewel drive a proper lady and a proud lord to go beyond scandal.
Daphne Summerhayes, on the shelf at 24, is bitterly disappointed at missing a trip to Italy in order to chaperone her young cousin's come-out in London. Her mood is further darkened by two disastrous meeting with Lord Courtlea, whom she considers an odious, self-serving libertine, and a thief. Courtlea considers Daphne too opinionated and headstrong, but lovely enough to warm his bed. He determines to win her. A missing jewel and two young lovers embroil them further. Daphne will do anything to regain the gem. Scandal threatens, but what Daphne proposes goes beyond scandal.
