When Rose meets the Thompson siblings; Jules, a navy captain, and Alice, his spirited younger sister, the trio form an easy kinship. Rose learns they have recently lost their mother to smallpox, and she is persuaded by the siblings to pose as Jules's love interest in an attempt to bring their grief-stricken father out of a terrible depression.

(Highest #41 on 8/5/2020) A/N This book is a stand-alone even though the first few chapters might seem confusing! It's one of those, starts in the middle and eventually unravels kind of a story :') (COMPLETED) I moved to peer through the thicket when her arm snaked around mine and she wildly shook her head. "You don't want to-" she whispered and I put my arm on her shoulder reassuringly. "It will be okay." I whispered back as lowly as possible. Her frantic eyes tried to convey her message but there was no option. I had to see, see if I could help. Holding my heart in my throat, I turned my head back and peered through the leaves. It was not okay. ----------------------- At the start of her successful career, Flora Lori is running from a past, and a man, hoping to heal herself with time and distance.
