Summary, Etc. USA Today bestselling author Joanna Shupe returns with an angst-filled retelling of Beauty and the Beast, set against the excess and opulence of Gilded Age New York. Love isn't always a fairy tale. Charming and popular, Orson Grey is the most sought-after bachelor in Manhattan. When Caroline pledges to spend her life with him, it feels like the beginning of a fairy tale. The fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare. Behind closed doors, Orson is controlling and cruel. Trapped by laws that prevent women from leaving unhappy marriages, Caroline has no choice but to endure her husband's behavior. Each day grows more intolerable, and her frustration and resentment mounts. Even her passion for rare books is stifled, leaving her isolated and lonely, a fading rose trapped under glass. When Caroline is offered the opportunity to catalogue a private library, she seizes it like a lifeline. Exploring the literary treasures, she discovers a friend in the library's owner, Zane Bishop--a brilliant, wealthy recluse who was disfigured in an explosion years ago. Thoughtful and kind, Zane is everything Orson is not. As their trust builds, Zane realizes that Caroline's pain runs much deeper than she lets on. He suffers with her, knowing precisely of Orson's cruelty firsthand. Zane will stop at nothing to set Caroline free, even if it means risking everything. The Gilded Rose is a story of resilience, passion, and the transformative power of love.
