Description
Kate Bratton dreams of more. It's 1914, and her life is mapped out ahead of her: continue working as a maid in the beautiful Woodicombe House, settle down with Luke the gardener and, of course, start a family.
Desperate to run away in search of adventure, Kate's plans are curtailed by the arrival of the Russell family at Woodicombe House. Tasked with becoming a ladies-maid for their daughter, Naomi, Kate gets a glimpse of the other side of life. Little does she know that all families have secrets, no matter their standing.
Will Kate return to the safety of her life before the Russell's departure? Or will the handsome Ned Russell turn her head?

Author's Bio
Inspired by the Malory Towers and St. Clare's novels of Enid Blyton, Rosie spent much of her childhood either with her nose in a book or writing stories and plays, enlisting the neighbours' children to perform them to anyone who would watch.
Professional life, though, was to take her into a world of structure and rules, where creativity was frowned upon. It wasn't until she was finally able to leave rigid thinking behind that she returned to writing, her research into her ancestry and a growing fascination for rural life in the nineteenth century inspiring and shaping her early stories.
She now resides with her husband in North Devon – the setting for the Woodicombe House Saga – where she enjoys the area's natural history, exploring the dramatic scenery, and keeping busy on her allotment.
