In Bruises That Lie, Ellen met up with her sister at her tavern with her new husband, Lord Thomas. She had a fake baby bump on her body, to cover for the fact that she was going to be taking Greer's baby once she was born. Greer made her promise she would raise the child without caring about station, or worried about titles like they had been raised.

In Strange Bedfellows, Greer breaks off their deal due to Ellen's deception.
