Lady Lily Lupine, a young and gorgeous widow with too much time on her hands and an abundance of love to give, fills the void in her life with an array of willing lovers. Men embittered by life and its woes, seeking respite with her, while slaking their thirsts and hunger on the joy and freedom she provides to them
It is a happy arrangement valued by all involved... until one of her treasured gems is found lying a pool of his own blood on the marble tile floor of Lily's foyer.
Lily's life as she knows it threatens to come crashing down around her when Scotland Yard sends a detective from the darkest period of her life to find out exactly what happened to her shattered gem and whether she, herself, had a hand in what appears to be his murder.
