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 sisters 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 Deidres connection with Julian deepens into a forbidden love she must reconcile the tumultuous feelings of her heart or risk losing everything.
