In this historical romance, a young nanny falls the wealthy heir to a mining empire and most chose between her desire to help the workers and her heart. Eighteen-year-old domestic servant Kate Stacey is passionately in love with David Owen, the brother of Lady Helen Sherwood. They both know their romance would be a scandal but seeing a chance for them to spend more time together, David recommends Kate as nanny to his young nieces at Bramwood Hall. Their secret relationship is soon discovered and he is recalled to his father’s industrial empire in the Welsh Valleys, while Kate is abruptly dismissed. Kate follows her heart, and David, to Wales. However, she is shocked by the poverty and squalid conditions on which the Owen fortune is built. As her sympathies increasingly lie with the workers, she finds herself dangerously caught up in their political cause. Her love for David endures, but is he strong enough to defy his father—and can Kate contemplate a future built on the proceeds of human misery? A heartwarming historical saga of love against the odds, perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke and Mollie Walton.
