It’s the Roaring Twenties, and writer Jade Yeo is exploring all the passions and perils of London high society. When she writes a scathing review of Bloomsbury luminary Sebastian Hardie, she’s hardly expecting an invitation to his next party, much less to find herself the object of his romantic attentions.

Irresistibly drawn to the prospect of adventure, Jade is intrigued to find that Hardie’s charismatic wife supports his dalliances. But exciting as the Hardies are, a life of fancy dinner parties and bohemian drama is not the freedom Jade has worked for. Forced to confront her real desires, she must decide whether to succumb to the Hardies’ stifling fantasies—or seize real life with the tenacity it demands.
