Some cages are gilded. Others are built from lies.

Georgia was raised to be the perfect wife?a dutiful daughter, a vision of grace, a sacrifice for the family name. When she is wed to a wealthy but unfeeling man, she resigns herself to a life of quiet obedience... until a chance encounter ignites a forbidden passion.

Carlisle is everything her husband is not?captivating, rebellious, intoxicating. With him, she glimpses a future beyond the suffocating expectations of her past. But love, like all beautiful things, can be a deception.

What begins as an escape spirals into a waking nightmare as Georgia finds herself ensnared in a web of manipulation, secrets, and a sinister revenge she never saw coming. The house she once ran to becomes her prison. And the man she thought would save her may be the one who destroys her.

In this chilling gothic tale of obsession and betrayal, love is a weapon, trust is a lie, and the truth may come too late.
