Still smarting from his merciless chastisement by Susan Rattan, Thomas Peake joins an Oxford set of female devotees of discipline: dominitrix Edwina Cheshunt, who enlists Peake to pleasure her slaves; voluptuous mulatto dancer Lucinda Lalage, and Miss Mann, whose disciplinary academy painfully re-creates a lady's schooldays.Thomas's London delights with his group of enthusiastic submissives are interrupted by a summons to claim his Caribbean inheritance. Ransomed after enslavement by the fierce Queen Orchid, he makes his plantation a lady's holiday resort with a difference - always governed by Miss Ratton's rules.
