When Daisy Holt is dismissed from her post as a nursemaid she sets off cheerfully into the jungle of mid-Victorian London to make her fortune. Kitty Hammond, proprietress of the 'select establishment' off Leicester Square discovers her and is quick to realise that Daisy's radiant beauty and talent as a dancer would make her a useful attraction in her 'respectable' brothel.

There it is that Daisy meets the impoverished artist John Skelton. To him she represents the perfect model-his muse. But Daisy falls completely and hopelessly in love with John-a love which will launch her on a stormy career in which luxury, admiration, ruin and suffering all play a part in bringing her to the edge of despair. In the end, with two illegitimate children to care for, her lover lost and a bully controlling her life, she has to leave her tender heart behind in the battle for survival.
