The year is 1930, and Cora McCavanagh is posing as a maid at Hollywood magnate Truman Byrd’s legendary estate. She’s closing in on the damning evidence she needs for a high-profile client. An aspiring PI, Cora was trained by her father, a former prison guard at the notorious Pelican Island, where she grew up surrounded by hardened criminals. And that's why she recognizes Jack Yates as soon as he walks through the door. The last time she saw him was on an ill-fated night that changed the course of her life and still haunts her more than a decade later.

Lady Eleanor Albright has left her "brothel-loving, girl-seducing, entitlement-inflated husband with whom she can't believe she ever had sex" and is again living with her Irish mother, Lady Adele Darnley. With her daughter's marital woes unacceptable, Lady Adele schemes to end Eleanor's "problems" - one of which is her daughter's attachment to a man seven years her junior, a barrister named Lord Henry Faraday. To help her friend, the cherubic Baron's son, Eleanor must defy family, society, even the man she loves.
