When the Roman legion sweeps through the farmlands of Syria, Sophie loses everything: her home, her family, even her freedom. Changes to the marriage laws under Caesar Augustus bring her to the attention of Procerus, a Roman soldier stationed in Judea.
Procerus is looking for a "wife." Sophie's looking for a way forward. Neither are looking for love. But will they find it anyway?
Historical fiction of ancient Rome based on historical evidence of the de facto marriages of Roman legion soldiers.
Novella, approximately 18,000 words.
