Count Erith, a brilliant dandy and experienced seducer, easily seduces women. The object of his interest, Olivia Raines, is not just a courtesan, but a queen of the demi-monde, independent and calculating. She chooses her lovers herself and mercilessly breaks off the connection when she gets bored with the relationship. Olivia is used to controlling men, turning them into her slaves, but subjugating Lord Erith is not so easy. The Count challenges her, and Olivia enters into single combat, not suspecting that any weapon is powerless against true love.
