ABOUT
THE BOOK

To most of Regency high society, forty-two-year-old Lady Augusta “Gus” Colebrook and her twin sister Julia are simply spinsters—unremarkable and overlooked. But beneath their genteel exterior, the Colebrook twins lead a secret life, protecting vulnerable women and children abandoned by society. When the dashing Lord Evan, an escaped convict and Gus’s love interest, seeks refuge for his sister and her forbidden lover, the twins offer sanctuary. They understand all too well the danger of a powerful, controlling brother. Yet as Lord Evan’s tangled past resurfaces, the sisters must navigate perilous secrets that could threaten everything they’ve built—and everyone they protect. To most of Regency high society, forty-two-year-old Lady Augusta Colebrook, or Gus, and her twin sister, Julia, are just unmarried ladies of a certain age. But the Colebrook twins are far from useless old maids. They are secretly protecting women and children ignored by society and the law.
