When famed London courtesan Alessandra Northrope passes away, her daughter Celia Pennifold inherits little more than a hopelessly contaminated reputation, a house in a middle class neighborhood, and an education that prepared her to take her motherβs place the way Alessandra intended. Celia hopes to make her own life on her own terms, however, and moves into the house only to discover one more legacyβan enigmatic, handsome tenant who knows her motherβs plans for her future rather too well.
Jonathan thinks he is on a simple mission to discover whether Celiaβs mother left accounts of her lovers that might embarrass important men. Instead he finds himself embroiled in a mystery full of dangerous betrayals and secrets, old and new, that touch on his life as well as Celiaβs.
