During one of the most anticipated events of the season, Lady Katherine Reddington vanished without a trace. Several months later, the priceless jewels she wore that fateful night appear in the possession of the Earl of Norwich, But no one knows what has become of the lovely Lady Katherine.
When a trio of gentlemen appears at the doorstep of an isolated inn during a snowstorm, the widowed innkeeper overhears their conversation, entangling her in their web of deception. The wealthy, ill-mannered Edmund and his friends are thieves eager to use her to their advantage. But when she hides the stolen jewels in their possession and refuses to reveal their location, Edmund issues an ultimatum: return the jewels or repay the debt with her body.
Chaos reigns as the thieves split up, pulled in different directions in search of the missing jewels and the still absent Lady Katherine.
With each unfolding story, new layers of treachery, deception, and danger are revealed, along with new significant characters and complicated relationships. Each tale builds upon the last to create a tangled web of truth and lies in late Victorian London where romance is the furthest thing from their minds...and the only true reward.
