I’m Someone Else

Rose scurried off upstairs. Precious herbs were expensive and barely anyone would purchase them, but as a family of healers and pharmacists, they must have some of everything in their inventory, or their professionalism would be put into question.

Thomas was asking for a lot. Twenty high-quality wild manroots were almost all the manroots they had. This was a big decision, and it was normal for Rose to be this nervous.

Everyone thinks she’s so glamorous and beautiful and powerful, but they have no idea how much she has had to work for it. Nothing’s easy in this world.
