Synopsis: A colorful love story set in pre-Victorian England ... Sarah Lindsay, in refusing the marriage her guardian uncle has arranged with a man she despises, pays a steep price: she learns the stunning truth about her birth. In confusion and despair, she leaves her guardian's home. En route to a temporary haven in Bath, she is rescued from dire peril by the formidable Lady Augusta Pym, who invites Sarah to her estate. At Pym House, Sarah makes the first in a series of astonishing discoveries: the shocking nature of the books under lock and key on Augusta's bookshelves. Then Sarah learns the widow Augusta's actual relationship with the sensitive man who was her husband, and the truth about the coterie of women in Augusta's past and present life--including the delectable Isabel. And, most astonishing of all, as Sarah falls under Augusta's spell, she discovers the uncharted erotic depths in herself. Grave complications arise. Isabel's outraged husband learns of his wife's feeling for Augusta, and the jealous Isabel has treacherously sent word of Sarah's whereabouts to her guardian--who arrives to take Sarah back to her arranged marriage. Can Augusta and Sarah possibly find a way to forestall such a fate?
