Description: For Lucy Oldfield, her job as a maid is far preferable to slaving in a Yorkshire woollen mill. But when Lord Farnley's daughter dies a shadow is cast over the future of Heaton Hall. Feeling insecure and with temptation thrown in her path, Lucy steals an expensive French doll from her mistress. On losing her job she returns to Leeds and falls victim to the deceitful lies of an admirer and finds herself with a child to support. And then a chance meeting with a gentleman on a train leads to an offer that appears to be too good to be true.
