Elle s'est fait une spécialité de fournir aux jeunes femmes des renseignements sur leurs futurs époux, afin que ces innocentes ne tombent pas dans les filets de débauchés ou de chasseurs de dot. Et peu importe si cela signifie qu'elle-même n'aura jamais aucune chance de se marier : elle considère cette institution comme une prison et une obligation surfaite.
Du moins, jusqu'à ce qu'elle rencontre James Glossup, qui fait vaciller ses convictions. Il est pourtant tout ce qu'elle conseille aux autres de fuir : beau parleur, charmeur, entouré de mystères et de secrets. Elle devrait l'éviter, le chasser d'une réplique cinglante... alors pourquoi rêve-t-elle maintenant de caresses interdites et de baisers d'alcôve ?
