Fleur ran to London after being unjustly accused of murder by her aristocratic cousin.

She is horrified to discover that her employer is the one and only customer she had while working as a prostitute. While she has nightmares about that one sexual encounter, she feels an unwilling attraction as Adam comforts her and protects her when she encounters her accusing cousin. Adam meanwhile suffers with his disfiguring injuries from the war, his difficult wife, his spoiled daughter, his dissolute brother and the forbidden attraction to Fleur.
