When Victorian shipping tycoon Jem Brigg is killed in a robbery, his family and the business world are shocked to discover the actual owner of the company is a woman, and a young one at that. Eleanora Pembroke's first action as owner is to hire the handsome and capable Eliot Sparks as the face of the company.
Her status as the premier heiress of London, motivates a host of suitors interested only in her shipping company. But Eleanora has already had her heart broken once by a sweet-talking fortune hunter.
To end the constant barrage of suitors, Eleanora proposes a fake engagement with her debonair new manager, Eliot Sparks. But Eliot has other ideas. Eleanora is the woman of his dreams, and he won't be giving her up easily.
When the two of them uncover embezzlement and murder in the company, they work together to find the culprit. Their investigation takes them through danger and detection—but not all their discoveries have to do with murder—some of them reveal the mysteries of the heart.
