Everything began with a statue molded by innocent Miss Jane Higgenbothem whose infatuation with Lord Blackburn took the form of a nude sculpture of the nobleman. Jane fled London in disgrace. She stayed in the country until now, eleven years later, when she returns to town as her nieces chaperone for The Season.

The ton hasnt forgotten the unveiling. Blackburn hasnt forgotten the kiss he shared with Jane, nor being societys laughingstock (Jane only put one very small fig leaf on her Blackburn).

She presents an interesting challenge to his manhood and maybe the key to a French spy network as well. Thus, Blackburn is tempted to court Jane for himself and his country.
