Last Year's Nightingale

Clementine Foster was young and unbelievably naive when she fell in love with the arrogant aristocrat, Deveril Grayshott, who didn't even know of her existence. When, one golden summer night she stepped in front of his horse, he took her with all the drunken arrogance of a young aristocrat used to having whatever he wanted.

But the repercussions were to reach far beyond that night, bringing hate, love and tragedy to both their lives. Clementine bore a son, the only legitimate heir to the Grayshott inheritance and according to the law of the times, she had no right to keep her son if Deveril wanted to claim him. Refusing to bear this dreadful injustice, Clementine resolved to fight to keep her son – whatever the cost.
