Wakings, Wooings, and Wrongdoings

Miss Kitty Felton is the bubbly cup of tea one looks forward to in the morning. She sees a ray of sunshine in any calamity. Working as a knocker-upper, she heads out as her father comes home from his job as a nightwatchman. Her newest client is a handsome man, though she's only seen his head as he waves from the window to show he has risen. 

Mr. Benjamin Cooper is a solicitor. Raised by Paddy O'Brien and his wife, his role in the family investigative service is to provide legal advice and help to bring cases to court. Ben hires a knocker-up to wake him six days a week. For the past week, he's only seen the top of her bonnet and the palm of her hand when she waves and bids him good day. When he finally sees her smiling face, he's shocked she's not old. Instead, he finds himself waking before Miss Felton arrives, so they can chat a bit before she moves on.

After a brutal murder in Cheapside, Kitty realizes she may have seen the villain escaping. Her father worries she may become a victim herself if she doesn't stay quiet, but her conscience is telling her differently. Mr. Felton believes her new client, Mr. Cooper, could be trusted with her secret without going to the constable.

Kitty confides in Ben, who finds himself torn between loyalty to the law and his growing his affection for Miss Felton. He turns to his family for help. But as their love grows, will Paddy's Peelers discover the murderer before he locates the enchanting Kitty? Or will their fragile romance be shattered before it has a chance to begin?
