She willingly accepts her former fiance Gil Trent's plea for help in preventing his sister Emmeline from meeting a similar matrimonial fate.

Champagne flows but the sparkle soon fades as a dark and unresolved history between Gil and Rupert surfaces. After a late night quarrel the luxurious hotel is one guest fewer by morning. When Gil is arrested for murder Amory is determined to defend his innocence. But if she's right, the killer is still in their midst - can she prove it before she, too, becomes a victim And what of the unexpected arrival of Milo Extravagance, scoundrels and red-herrings abound as Amory draws closer to discovering the murderer - as well as love.
