Beyond the Gilded Cage

She has everything money can buy—except freedom.

In the glittering world of Victorian England, eighteen-year-old Evelyn Ashcombe appears to have it all: wealth, beauty, and a future already written in gold. But behind the silks and chandeliers lies a life carefully controlled by her powerful father—and a destiny she never chose.

When Evelyn stumbles upon a mysterious letter hidden in the pages of a forgotten book, it sparks more than curiosity. It awakens a fire. With the help of Nathaniel Reed—a rugged journalist with secrets of his own—Evelyn is drawn into a world of whispers, resistance, and the fight for a voice that’s truly hers.

As their bond deepens and the lines between duty and desire blur, Evelyn must decide how much she’s willing to risk for love, truth, and a life beyond the gilded cage.

Beyond the Gilded Cage is a romantic, rebellious historical coming-of-age tale about breaking free, daring to dream, and rewriting the story you've been given.
