A mother's sin. A daughter's secret.
Lisi flees a 14th century convent in search of the mother who mysteriously abandoned her years before and finds Katherine, a prostitute, on her deathbed. The answers Lisi longs for die with her mother-or so it seems.
Taken in by a miller's wife who conceals her identity, Lisi struggles to build a new life while guarding the secrets of her past. Then she meets Rayner, a lord's son determined to break through her defenses. For the first time, Lisi dares to hope for love and a future of her own until Rayner's twisted twin's growing obsession with her threatens to destroy everything.
The answers to Lisi's hidden past lie in Katherine's story-a story of betrayal, desperation, and an outlaw known as Wolf.
Years before Lisi's birth, Katherine was sold to a notorious outlaw. Wolf takes Katherine to his hidden camp where his impulse to buy her begins to break down the walls he carefully built to hide his past and deaden his heart. Katherine concocts a bold plan to escape, but when she learns Wolf is in danger from a sinister rival, will she risk everything to save him?
The Miller's Daughter creates a puzzle of discovery where love is won and lost, villains wreak havoc, and a stolen legacy waits to be reclaimed. Joy Corwin crafts an intimate, authentic, and often haunting exploration of bloodlines, betrayal, and the enduring power of a mother's love.
