Miss Philippa Cashel's mission, the Princess Charlotte Eleos School for Women in Need, is thriving with donations, and the students are learning skills to help them earn their livings in honorable ways. But when a dear friend's past is revealed by blackmail, Philippa must wrestle with the question, Is it ever right to do the wrong thing?
Bertie's and Philippa's missions collide when Bertie uncovers a dangerous plot involving vulnerable women. He and Philippa join forces against the corruption threatening to topple England's government, all while navigating their outward reputations and inward feelings for each other.

Book Excerpt
Philippa felt numb, her heart heavy, not wanting to broach the blackmail letter with Aunt Dolly, yet yearning to at the same time.
Aunt Dolly stood in the nave, inspecting the red-painted scrollwork adorning the now-cream-colored rafters. At last she turned to Philippa. “Out with it, child.”
With nothing else to do, Philippa retrieved the accusing letter from her apron pocket, separating it from Lady Tiptree’s. “This came in the post, and I’m afraid I opened it by accident. I thought it was to do with the school, but it is of a more personal nature. I read it.” She held the paper out.
“Why should such a trifling thing bother you, child? I’m sure it is nothing.” Aunt Dolly took the page, tilting it toward the sunlight. Her body stilled as she read, except for her hands, which began to tremble. When she finished, she looked up into the vaulted space.
“I am trying not to make assumptions, Aunt Dolly, but I’m having a difficult time. Perhaps . . .” Philippa tried to work some moisture into her mouth. “Perhaps you could give me some context for the writer’s remarks?”
Aunt Dolly didn’t answer for a long stretch, almost as if she had not heard. Then she inhaled deeply. “Sit, child, and I will tell you all.”
