Description: It is the 1870s and the whole of Ireland is gripped by the struggle between landlords and tenants. Determined to save her family from being evicted from their farm, naïve seventeen-year-old Abby O'Leary believes she'll be able to talk their Anglo-Irish landlord into a postponement of their rent. It is not the landlord she meets, however, but his son, and what does he care for the tenants and their problems when he has this beautiful girl before him? The consequences are devastating. Her reputation in shreds, her brother imprisoned for taking justice into his own hands, and her family thrown off their land, Abby has no option but to flee to London, where no one knows her.Sophisticated and rich, Nick Darke gives her the fresh start she needs. Under his tuition Abby is transformed from innocent farm girl to respected lady, able to hold her own in the highest reaches of London's society. And though Nick has other commitments and can never be truly hers, for the first time in a long while Abby feels content.But then Nick asks Abby a shocking favour. And when the man who tore her from her family in Ireland walks back into her life, all of a sudden it becomes clear that Abby's troubles are only just beginning.
