Description
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER FROM BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED SAGA AUTHOR
Nuneaton, 1875.
Lily Moon, the local miner's daughter, spends her days as a parlour maid for Lord and Lady Bellingham at Oakley Manor, on the outskirts of Nuneaton. She's always been happy with her lot in life, and never expected more. But one day, everything changes when she temporarily becomes lady's maid to the Bellingham's daughter, Arabella, who is pregnant with an illegitimate child.
When Arabella suddenly disappears and Lily is left holding the baby, it is only Arabella's brother, the handsome son and heir of the estate, who shows any interest in the child. Soon a friendship forms between him and Lily. Or, perhaps more than a friendship if the village gossips are to be believed . . .
When Lily is called to Paris to try to bring Arabella home to her family, a new opportunity emerges which could change her life forever.
Could Lily dare to believe that she could be more than just a parlour maid?
