A midwife on the run finds safety in the arms of a handsome knight. The Midwife: For four years Maggie Whitlock has been on the run with her brother and young daughter, moving from town to town and never staying in one place long. After her midwife mother was blamed for the death of a noblewoman and her baby, she was executed. Now those same nobles are coming for Maggie! Maggie acts as mother, provider and protector to her brother and daughter, but beneath her tough exterior she is laden with guilt. She can't help but think she is to blame for the loss of her mother, since she birthed her own baby that night and took her mother's attention away from the noble. When she and her family wander into Saltwood Castle during a knighting, they are broke, hungry and tired. In a weak moment she accepts help from a knight, and even though she despises nobles she finds herself oddly attracted to Sir Evan Blackmore. The Knight: Sir Evan Blackmore has been newly knighted and couldn't be happier. During the celebration, the castle courtyard is crowded and he accidentally knocks a little girl to the ground. He meets Maggie, the girl's mother, and finds out Maggie is a widow and also a midwife. He's taken vows as a knight to help orphans and widows and decides this is the first step to prove he is an honorable knight and has truly earned the title of Sir. He hires Maggie to tend to his pregnant cousin, offering to give Maggie not only a job but also food and a home for her family. So why doesn't she seem eager to accept his offer? As Evan watches this strong, brave girl live through her struggles, he loses his heart to her. But Maggie is keeping secrets which he soon discovers when her past comes back to haunt her and he is dragged into a whirlwind situation that threatens more lives than just one. Can a woman on the run stop longing enough to face her true feelings for a knight although she despises nobles and swore she would never trust them
