A devastatingly handsome Duke, with London Society falling at his feet…A lovely young ‘Amazon’, leader of a South coast smuggling gang… A sordid blackmail scheme… And a sinister plot by the forces of Napoleon Bonaparte to assassinate the Prince Regent.  

In this helter-skelter adventure, fraught with peril, the mutual suspicion between the lovely young gang-leader and the dashing Duke turns first to admiration, then to trust and finally to a contraband kind of love.
