Daughter of the Gilded Age

Emery Grange

Frances Swett has bruised wrists hidden beneath cream kid gloves and a dangerous secret: she's a suffragette masquerading as a prospective duchess. When forced into close quarters with a powerful aristocrat whose intentions remain opaque, she discovers that the gilded cage she's agreed to enter may be far more complex than she imagined. Torn between the cause she's sacrificed everything for and a life of privilege that demands her silence, Frances must navigate a world of diplomatic intrigue and unspoken histories where every choice carries consequences she cannot yet foresee. A portrait of a woman caught between two irreconcilable identities, searching for autonomy in a world determined to contain her.
