James Bentley was born and raised in a brothel as the son of a spurned courtesan. Now established as a conman of the highest quality, entrepreneur and respected businessman, he harbours a dark side, a penchant for abducting and abusing virgins to work in his brothels. Cold and heartless he is indifferent to the chaos and ruin he leaves in his wake, including his son, Malachi.
By chance, James is introduced to alcoholic, womanising Patrick Curtis with the opportunity to acquire premises on The Strand for a high-class brothel and further funding for his fictitious projects. In so doing he meets Patrick's domestically abused wife Lilly. The pair are instantly drawn to each other and after James' disclosures of his past, the relationship is cemented. They have a problem, Patrick.
Malachi coming of age at sixteen is told of his origins and whilst offered the position of clerk to the Bow Street Magistrate he exposes secrets of those he loves and those he will come to love.
Will Lilly and James enjoy life together or will the spectre's of his past come back to haunt him and with what consequences?
