Gilded Silence

Wealth. Status. Power. A husband devoted to her beyond all reason.

Genevieve Donovan had it all. The only thing she could not give him was a child. In a world where a woman's worth lay in her ability to bear heirs, her status only established her place as a failure.

When a brutal assault nearly costs Genevieve her life, she is still expected to return immediately to her duty as a woman, as though nothing had happened. Instead, for the first time in her life, she refuses.

The consequences are immediate.

Stripped of the only life she had ever known, Genevieve walks away with a fortune, her freedom, and a secret that can never come to light.

Determined to leave the past behind, she embarks on a journey of healing and purpose, until a chance encounter with a stranger invites the possibility of something more dangerous than her secrets or her past: hope.

But some ties are not easily broken.

The secret she carries has the power to destroy a dynasty. The closer it comes to the light, the more impossible it becomes to outrun.

Sometimes, the past refuses to remain buried.
