"Friday, May 17, 1929, was the day my boss gave me my first important assignment and the day I decided to lose my virginity." Take an adventurous virgin, add a handsome spy, and stir with a dash of treachery. Let the mixture bubble in a hothouse atmosphere of sexual dalliance and danger. Lady Gillian Christie considers herself a thoroughly modern young woman in London. She has a job and her own flat in town, but at twenty-two she is still a virgin. A reporting assignment sends her to a country estate for the weekend to find out about a mysterious game-a perfect opportunity to find a bed partner and delve into the mysteries of love. The game turns out to be more than she expected, and she is soon involved in a bargain with a handsome undercover agent who will trade what he knows about love for her help in foiling German spies.
