Sophie Ravel is being blackmailed.

After breaking the news to her best friend's fiancée that the bride has eloped with another, the reeling Sir Vincent Putney unleashes his wrath on the undeserving Sophie. He has her in a compromising position that could very well lead to her fall in society if he plays his cards right.

Although it did involve a proposal regarding her hand in marriage… Something he's not going to be able to back out of very easily.
