The year is 1864 in Oakhaven. Isadora is draped across a heavy velvet settee, her feet propped up as she loses herself in the ink of a novel.

Hearing the door creak open, she doesn't lift her eyes from the page. "Fetch me a glass of lemon water, darling. Now," she commands, her voice cutting through the silence with a sharp edge that fails to hide the underlying affection in her heart.
