From her first encounter with Morgan Hunter, Sable Martin dreamed of becoming Sable Hunter, but how could an ignorant farm-girl hope to win a place among the rich and handsome Hunters? Sable possesses beauty and an intelligence that she scarcely guesses at which in turn win her an important place in London society. But London is not the glamorous city it had once seemed to the little Yorkshire farm-girl with its sordid alleys, the haunt of thieves, prostitutes and the nameless, numberless poor. Playing her own small part in the fight against these social evils, Sable meets, once again, the Hunters. Is there more—or less—to the intriguing Hunter brothers than appears on the surface?
