Bright and bubbly eighteen-year-old Lavinia Meadows comes to London with her family to find a husband, following in the footsteps of her elder sister. She thoroughly enjoys herself in the London social whirl but her path is crossed by Sir Nicholas Sinclair, the one person her mother wishes her to avoid as he has the reputation of being the most handsome rake in town. Lavinia's enquiring mind leads her into unexpected situations, surprising Sir Nicholas and making him reconsider his own life. But will he rescue her from the most traumatic adventure of all?
