Rosalind Fairchild, determined to destroy the Echelon she despises, faces an easy task at first glance: enter society, find out everything about the mysterious disappearance of her brother, and then get out of there. In order to get to the Nighthawks and find their leader, Sir Jasper Lynch, Rosalind pretends to be their secretary. But she does not expect that Lynch is such a dangerously charismatic man and will constantly put a spoke in her wheels, forcing her to reconsider all her beliefs. He can become for Rosalind either a sworn enemy or an ally she never dreamed of.
