In "The Gilded Rose," USA Today bestselling author Joanna Shupe presents an emotive retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in the opulent backdrop of Gilded Age New York. Orson Grey, Manhattan's most eligible bachelor, entraps Caroline in a nightmarish marriage marked by control and cruelty, leaving her isolated and desperate. When she discovers a private library and develops a friendship with its reclusive owner, Zane Bishop, Caroline finds the hope and understanding she’s been missing. This tale explores themes of resilience, passion, and the transformative power of love amidst the constraints of a stifling society.
