About this book

When Annabella Lagrange was seven she passed beyond the forbidden oak door barring her way to her fathers apartments and watched as he seduced a woman who was not her mother. The next day her nursemaid was dismissed for calling Arabella a bastard. Now at eighteen Annabella learns the whole of the dark secret of her birth. No one can soothe the hurt the humiliation raging within her-not even Manuel her fathers servant who has hidden his love until now. Fleeing Redford Hall determined to find her real mother Annabella journeys into the working-class world and into the gypsy life. Her heart is to break many times before love makes it whole again.
