The boredom and hypocrisy of London society, which invariably irritated the independent Catherine Ashfield, Viscountess Beakley, forced her to take part in a risky venture - the publication of a scandalous book. The Viscountess wanted to shock her friends, but instead she put her life in danger.

However, troubles also have a positive side. Catherine had to leave London, but she had a very attractive defender. Andrew Stanton will not only save the fugitive from the killers, but will also be able to dispel her boredom, the best remedy for which is LOVE!
