Story

The story

Willow, an orphan, was taken in by the stern baker Aunt Eleanor Miller, who taught her the baker's craft and had Alistair teach her letters. When Ethan, the eldest Miller son, insists on joining the army, Aunt Eleanor demands he leave an heir first. Ethan asks Willow to marry him, not out of love, but because she is practical and costs the family nothing.

Opening excerpt

Silas pointed at the general on horseback, who held a young child in his arms, and asked me, "Mama," he chirped, "that man looks just like the papa in the painting!"

My grip on Silas tightened, knuckles whitening. "Nonsense," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "That's not him."

He once was, perhaps. But now, he wasn't. And he never would be again. He had ascended to the heights of ambition, and I, a mere mortal, couldn't have tethered him even if I’d dared.

Ten years ago, a orphaned, destitute waif, I offered myself for indenture to bury my parents.
