Sarah Courtney’s annual summer pilgrimage to her aunt’s country mansion takes an unexpected twist when she arrives to find a new stablehand in place. Suddenly, it’s more than a couple of months of horse riding, polite discussions and refined tea parties that she’s thinking about. The young man’s rough, uncultured and confident manner comes as a surprise, but one that she secretly likes. When her aunt goes to the city overnight, Sarah gets cornered in the stables and the virginity she expected to save for the man she married is taken from her as she lets herself be deflowered in the hay.
