Five years after losing her husband at Waterloo, Fenella, Lady Deerham, has returned to London society, admired as its most graceful widow.

Anthony Townsend, a rough-edged self-made magnate, bursts into her Mayfair house convinced she is hiding the runaways.

Yet when she insists on joining the search, the two must travel together through a dangerous night, and the closeness of that journey begins to unsettle them both.
