Tabitha, Lady Chesterton, the Countess of Pembroke, is newly widowed at only 22 years of age. With no son to inherit the title, it falls to a dashing, distant cousin of her husband's, Jeremy Chesterton, known as Wolf. It quickly becomes apparent that Wolf had consorted with some of London's most dangerous citizens before inheriting the title. Can he leave this world behind, or will shadowy figures from his past follow him into his new aristocratic life in Mayfair? And can Tabitha avoid being caught up in Wolf's dubious activities?

Thessa is a young noblewoman who has an unfortunate run-in with a werewolf on her engagement night. Lokenn is a fugitive necromancer, out to restore the reputation of his maligned art. Corlis is an innkeeper with a dying aunt and rapidly mounting debts.

Now that Wolf has embraced his inheritance of the Pembroke title, he finds himself curious about its history. Tabitha surprises him by arranging a private tour of the Pembroke Castle ruins for what was supposed to be a lovely family day out. As they wander the castle grounds, listening to the stories told by the knowledgeable caretaker, Tabitha and Wolf make the shocking discovery of a dead body.

Wolf had hoped he could put his thief-taking life behind him when he unexpectedly inherited an earldom. Wolf, the new Earl of Pembroke, against his better judgment, finds himself sucked back into another investigation. He knows better than to think he can keep Tabitha out of it. Tabitha was the wife of Wolf's deceased cousin, the previous earl, but now she's running his household and finding her way into his life and, to his surprise, his heart. He respects her intelligence and insights but can't help trying to protect her.

At last, Tabitha and Wolf can relax and settle into newlywed bliss…or so they think. Just as they prepare to leave London for a quiet summer at the Pembroke Estate, an unexpected—and rather cryptic—invitation arrives. The notoriously flamboyant Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey, has personally requested their presence at Plas Newydd, his ancestral estate, accompanied by a desperate plea for their investigative skills. Intrigued, the couple agrees to a detour—with the ever-formidable dowager in tow, of course.

Tabitha and Wolf have just arrived back in London after their relaxing stay in Corfu. They haven’t thought about murder investigations for almost two months.

Can Tabitha and Wolf clear the earl’s name in time for the wedding to proceed as planned? And what on earth is the dowager doing teaming up with Uncle Duncan, of all people?
