England, 1815.
Rosemary Hale lives a quiet life in her village bakery-until a mysterious woman named Helena begins visiting every morning for bread.
Helena is reserved, elegant, and clearly hiding something. As glances linger and silences turn intimate, Rosemary finds herself drawn into a romance that feels both tender and dangerous.
Because Helena isn't just passing through.
And some women don't arrive to be found-they arrive to escape.
A romantic-era sapphic story about secrecy, devotion, and choosing love over the life the world demands.
