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.
