The dowager Duchess of Devonshire's return to London high society is a fabulous one indeed when she accepts an invitation from Lady Pettiford to join an exclusive club of free women. The old countess runs the secretive Lady's Side, hidden behind the walls of the famed Whitterfield's gaming hell. Here the widowed women of the ton are free to pursue every pleasure-with their money, their desires, and most importantly-their bodies. London's season of royal splendor and hidden debauchery is beginning. The ladies and gentlemen of the ton are flooding into town eager to mingle and posture, for gossip and scandal. Debutantes prepare to preen and attract proper husbands. And the Duchess has an agenda of her own. Awakened to her sensuality and sexual cravings, Lilly boldly explores new sensations and lustful fantasies in the pursuit of fulfilling her wicked list.
