When Nell Draper leaves the workhouse to care for the five-year-old son of Lord Eversham, a wealthy landowner, she has no idea of the heartache that lies ahead of her.

Not everyone is happy about Robert’s existence.

Can Nell save him from a desolate future, secure his inheritance and ensure he takes his rightful place in society?

A love story.
