By day, Janelle Caddick is the perfect baron’s daughter—elegant, demure, and newly engaged to the powerful Lord Benedict.
By night, she becomes Betty Gill, a skilled midwife slipping through London’s tenements to deliver babies in places where no respectable lady would go.
She’s kept her dangerous double life hidden for years, until Major Gabriel Vance is assigned as her bodyguard.
Gabriel is Lord Benedict’s right-hand man. When he discovers Janelle sneaking around, he expects scandal.
What he finds instead is a woman risking everything to save lives that society has deemed unworthy.
Now Gabriel must choose: destroy Janelle by exposing her secret or protect her from dangers she can’t even see.
Worse, the more time he spends guarding her, the harder it becomes to remember she belongs to his closest friend.
As Janelle fights to save mothers and babies, Gabriel fights his growing feelings for a woman he can never have.
And Lord Benedict watches them both, hiding secrets of his own—secrets that could either shatter their world or forge something far more extraordinary than any of them dared to imagine.
