What if you could take justice into your own hands, would you? When Trick, Ace, Pepper, and Sugar meet during group counseling, they form a sisterhood and decide to take justice into their own hands. Their time spent in group counseling listening to the same sad, sick stories proved that the justice system was a fucked-up system. It continued to fail women and children time and time again. If the justice system couldn't bring justice, the sisters would. The sisters vow to avenge those that cannot avenge themselves and soon discover that they are capable of heinous acts never thought possible. When Trick is caught red-handed after a kill by the chief of police, she is forced to obey the chief's every command or be arrested for murder. Her arrest would lead to the downfall of the secret society she's formed with her sisters. Trick is conflicted over whether she should risk it all by getting even with the chief or sacrifice her mind, body, and soul for women who have become her family and a cause that has become her life's mission?

Benedick Rohan has returned to London wanting one thing—to spend the next few months in blissful sexual congress with numerous congenial females. He does not want a do-gooder on his doorstep, interfering with his fun. Melisande “Charity” Carstairs has her own goals—to take care of the “soiled doves” and broken women she is determined to save, and to never marry again. And she isn’t about to let the undeniably gorgeous Viscount Rohan distract her. They have nothing in common but an enemy, the newly reformed Heavenly Host, whose mysterious leader threatens their nearest and dearest, and the two mismatched combatants have no choice but to band together, or lose those they held dearest. Losing their hearts in the process.
