Eloise Hamilton, the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy banker, knows that society will never open its doors to the likes of her. So when Lord Richard Craven, heir to the dukedom, singles her out she harbours no false illusions about the outcome. Her neighbour, the formidable rakehell Harry Benson-Smythe, is not only suspicious of her high-born admirer but inexplicably jealous, too. It is only as Eloise and Harry work together to solve the mysterious abductions of local girls that Richard's true purpose becomes apparent. As do Harry's feelings for Eloise, which go beyond the neighbourly.
