Author Description

Set in the mid-19th century, Lily Baines is loyal and devoted to the Westfall family, who have given her a home and education after her mother died in childbirth when working for the Westfalls. No one can tell her anything about her father. Lily has never really been treated as family, nor as a servant. In fact, Lily is not sure where she belongs. Then along comes the handsome and very eligible bachelor, Jude Mitchell, intending to meet and court the delightful Prudence Westfall. The fact that he has taken an instant shine to Lily does not go down well with the Westfall family. However, Lily is determined not to be swayed by this man, despite being equally attracted to him. But she will not risk spoiling Prudence's hopes for marriage. Unfortunately for Lily, the situation quickly turns into a tangled love triangle, and the only place Lily has ever called home is pulled from under her feet.
