Georgia is a mixed-race, financially independent businesswoman and member of the British gentry. Her unique dynamics within Victorian London's polite society are fraught with plenty of challenges. When an abandoned baby is dumped on her by ex-rake and scandalously handsome local curate Daniel, her position in society is suddenly at risk.

How can a single mixed-race woman take on a baby without raising questions from scurrilous gossips?

Despite her doubts about motherhood, soon Baby Nicholas captures Georgina's heart. She tries to forget the mystery surrounding his mother's disappearance. Surprisingly, Daniel offers her a marriage of convenience, but how can she accept when he has his own motives?

Her choices are slim: lose her independence or lose Baby Nicholas. As society watches and judgement looms, she must decide. Will she follow her conscience or her heart?
