Her Gilded Prison

A desperate mother's secret bargain. A handsome young heir. A forbidden passion that could destroy them both.

Trapped in a cold, loveless marriage, Lady Sybil Partington has learned to put her daughters' futures before her own happiness. But with her husband's health declining, sweet Hetty and vain Araminta face the prospect of being left penniless.

Then Stephen Cranborne arrives at Partington Hall.

Handsome, younger, and struggling financially, her husband's prospective heir offers Sybil a chance to secure her daughters' inheritance. She strikes a secret bargain with him, believing she can keep her heart out of the arrangement.

She is dangerously mistaken.

What begins as an act of maternal sacrifice becomes an affair neither can surrender. For the first time in years, Sybil feels desired—and the more she has to lose, the harder it becomes to walk away.

But Partington Hall conceals more than one dangerous secret. As hidden enemies and family revelations threaten to expose them, Sybil must confront the cost of the bargain she made.

She risked her reputation to protect her daughters. Will following her heart destroy the future she fought to save?

Her Gilded Prison is Book 1 in Beverley Oakley's Daughters of Sin, a five-book Regency family saga of forbidden love, espionage, and sisters divided by secrets. This historical romance contains steamy, open-door scenes.
