Description
Her choices are few: if she is to survive, she has no choice
but to assume domestic work. So when she is taken on
as a maid in the vast manor of the powerful Hampton
family, Deidre is determined to prove her mettle. But
when she catches the eye of the young master of the
house, she is set upon an unexpected new path.
Julian Hampton is immediately taken by the gentle,
new housemaid. He sees in her the qualities necessary
to help him with his greatest responsibility: the care of
his younger sister. When he offers Deidre a position as
his sister’s companion, it is an opportunity that is not
without its challenges. Deidre becomes fast friends with
Julian and his sister, but with this relationship comes
stirrings of resentment within the household directed
at the young woman who has risen so quickly to such a
position of responsibility. As Deidre’s connection with
Julian deepens into a forbidden love, she must reconcile
the tumultuous feelings of her heart or risk losing
everything.
