She may be innocent'but she's also deadly!
When seemingly fragile Miss Ivy Cavendale takes the headmistress position in an orphanage, it is her chance to stay anonymous in society. But not all is what it seems with Miss Ivy. When an intruder breaks in one night, she's quick to draw her weapon, and while fear - her constant companion - has mysteriously disappeared, one thing is very clear: she and her charges are the next target of The Devil's Sons.
Commissioner Edward Worthington owes the head of The Queen's Deadly Damsels a debt. So, he must keep an eye on the Duchess's new prot'g'. How much trouble can the shy Miss Cavendale be? Rather a lot, actually. The diminutive wallflower has been overlooked and forgotten by society's elite, but Edward sees a woman full of fascinating contradictions he's compelled to unravel.
Burdened by secrets and childhood trauma, Ivy is stunned as Edward ignites a breathless curiosity within her. And when he asks her to join forces to identify the dangerous intruder at The Widow's Ball, she cannot refuse. She may not trust many, but something tells her she should trust Edward' with more than just this mission.
