It's the perfect setting for their relationship to blossom. Then a case from the past re-emerges, shattering the calm and plunging Jake into the shadowy world of No Taboo-a clandestine group which serves the extravagant whims of Britain's elite. And when Livia accepts a position working for a powerful publishing magnate, suspicions arise about her new employer's connection to the mysterious group.
