Arthur Weeks, long-suffering manager of the Cappadene Club, knows he is taking a risk with Lydia Holt. The lady is not only above his station, but engaged to be married - whatever he and Lydia can share will only involve sin, not sentiment. When an illicit appointment with Lydia is arranged, Arthur is determined to give her anything she wished... even if it means ignoring the romantic desires of his own heart.
Lydia Holt is looking for an escape. A loveless marriage will, at least, provide her some protection from her cruel father - and a few days of sin with Arthur Weeks will fulfill some of her heart's wilder desires. He's the only man who has ever treated her as if she is beyond price, something that Lydia finds addictive. Addictive, and dangerous. She cannot fall in love with Arthur Weeks or can she?
