In 18th-century London, Margaret Wells moves her brothel to the vibrant area of Soho, hoping to improve her business but rival madam Lydia Quigley has other ideas.

Lennox seems interested in a lot more than Margaret's business plans, but with her days as a harlot long behind her, just how far will Margaret be willing to go?

When the Wells family is met by a baying mob outside their new home, Margaret fears she might be reaping the rewards of her public attack on Lydia Quigley.

As Lydia's campaign against her takes a toll on business, Margaret bets everything on an illicit masquerade, but will it make them or ruin them?

Lord Fallon shows interest in Lucy - can she finally snare herself a keeper? Charlotte's decision to leave Howard puts her in danger.

When Howard offers to be Lucy's keeper, Margaret is delighted, but Lucy's reaction could plunge all three Wells women into terrible danger.
