Lady Annica Sayles is a bit of a hellion: she smokes, gambles, flirts (but discreetly, of course) and has absolutely no intention of marrying. What Lady Annica is absolutely passionate about however, is meting out some much needed justice on the behalf of wronged women, on certain cads in society. In this, she is ably assisted by her friends: Charity Wadlow, Constance Bennington, Grace Forbrush and Lady Sarah Hunter. Currently, the ladies are pursuing the 'gentlemen' who raped Lady Sarah. However, another case has also caught their attention: that of the mysterious disappearance of a governess. Unanimously, the ladies agree to investigate the woman's disappearance, esp since it seems to the third such disappearance in a matter of weeks.

Elsewhere, Tristan Sinclair, the Earl of Auberville, has decided to throw his hat into the matrimonial ring. Bu he doesn't want just any wife. No, he needs a wife who would be able to be a successful society hostess, but who is trustworthy and honourable, and who has no desire to have a husband constantly hanging about her elbow. For the earl actually works for the Foreign Office, and is constantly undertaking some investigation or the other. The last thing he needs is a clingy wife who will interfere with his work. And when a friend brings Lady Annica to his notice, the earl decides that she is exactly the wife for him. (The fact that he finds her very desirable doesn't really come into it.) But how to convince a lady who is vehemently against marriage to change her mind?
