Cassie and her family have worked very hard to put food on the table and stay together since her father died. However, Cassie can no longer work in the factories and watch the abuse that takes place there. Luck is with her when she is offered a job as a ladies companion to one of the ladies of her

church. Never could Cassie have imagined such wealth as that of her mistress, who is very kind to both Cassie & her family, her servants, and her friends. However, her mistress' son does not deserve her kindness, nor does he receive it after all he has put her through. When the evil Sebastian sets his sights on Cassie, she knows he will stop at nothing to maker her his...even resorting to murder. When Cassie is nearly trampled by a handsome stranger's horse, will he save her life in more ways than one?

This was a great book! A great series all together, although I kept wishing for the previous characters from the series to make some sort of entrance...ah, well, one can hope.
