Laura, believing her trials are over, inherits a vast fortune in diamonds only to find that her scheming uncle has secreted them in a love couch, designed specifically for gentlemen seeking the pleasures of women. Learning that the couch has been sold at auction she sets out to recover it, a quest that takes her into the most unlikely of places, from exclusive ladies clubs to the dark, sinister London underworld where chastity is in short supply and great demand.
From the glittering world of West End night houses to the shady brothels of Shadwell, Laura travels a torturous route leading from one libidinous disaster to the next, and has to trade more than hard cash to achieve her goal, including her own chastity – and not in a way of her liking.
