Nancy was born in a fishing village on the North Yorkshire coast and her life was hard and almost primitive, a life made harder still when her step father made unwanted advances towards her. When she rejected him she was sent to live with her aunt further down te coast and she was happy until her aunt died two years later. Her selfish parents tried to claim her aunt's estate but Nancy foiled them in that respect, as she foiled the vicar who had designs on her, himself. Finding work, even in Scarborough was nigh on impossible, but then she did find a job working as a seamstress in a brothel, and she was happy there until one of the clients raped her, forcing her to leave. She was pregnant now but a rough Scottish fisher girl put an end to the pregnancy, much to Nancy's relief and by a stroke of good fortune she found work in service to a nobleman's household. There she met the love of her life and started courting Jeb the coachman, but before long her past caught up with her and the couple fell out, only for her to find favor with his lordship's son. The couple wanted to marry, especially as she fell pregnant again, but his father quashed that idea, sending here away with a handful of sovereigns as compensation. After a while she buys a small dressmaking shop, which does well until news of her former working in a brothel loses her custom and she folds the shop and starts looking for work again. Her best friend finds work for her in a nursing home and she does well there, being willed by a small fortune by one of the inmates on his death. In the meantime, her former lover Jeb is injured badly in a fall from his horse and the pair meet again in the home which she buys with the inheritance. Unfortunately things do not run smoothly at first but love wins in the end and the pair marry, while the man who tried so desperately to split them up dies because of his meddling.
