At Bradwell, the Cherrill family estate, Lord Douglas stumbles upon a young woman banished to the country for birthing an illegitimate child. Lady Phoebe de Moncy, the beautiful daughter of the Earl of Rudham, was once a debutante with a bright future until she placed her heart in the wrong man's hands. Now, she knows time with baby Ellen is running out. Can the second son of the illustrious Cherrill family risk his reputation to marry the woman he loves, or will Doug, Phoebe, and her precious baby girl be parted forever?

Kind-hearted Margaret Haselden takes in a stray dog found rummaging through her rubbish bins, yet the scrappy little terrier may prove more than she can handle. When the prized bulldog of the Duke of St. Lawrence is set upon by a mangy cur, His Grace is outraged, but a compassionate beauty at the end of her tether pleads his forgiveness.

Linley Talbot-Martin is a girl who likes to get her hands dirty. As the daughter of a famous archaeologist, she's been everywhere and seen everything--except London. But when the time comes to trade her jodhpurs and work boots for silk gowns and kid gloves, she may be in over her head. Even though she can out-ride, out-shoot, and outsmart any girl in London society, Linley is destined to be the failure of the season. No one she meets cares about ancient pottery or lost Buddhist texts, and fundraising efforts for future expeditions keep coming up short.

While other ladies turn their country homes into soldiers' hospitals and host charity bazaars to fund the war effort, Linley struggles just to keep Wolford Abbey afloat. Driving tractors and managing servants is not the life she dreamed of in those magical days before the war. She yearns to put down the teacups, pick up a trowel, and follow in her father's footsteps as an archaeologist - and never is this more apparent than with her husband away at the Front.

In October 1921, Linley and Patrick set out for a long overdue holiday. But when their train is mysteriously halted in Vienna, Lord and Lady Kyre must abandon their plans for sunshine and gin fizzes to save a nation in need. The glittering cafes of Jazz Age Paris, rolling hills of rural Hungary, and the trip of a lifetime aboard the Orient Express lead Linley and Patrick on an adventure that just might go down in history.
