Pearl Bound - Paperback

Some women are bound by class. Others refuse to be bound at all.

In the glittering halls of Gilded Age New York, beneath chandeliers and velvet drapes, danger hides in plain sight. Pearl Bound is a lush, gothic romantasy that explores forbidden desire, social power, and the cost of defiance.

Eve Kelly, a young Irish immigrant, arrives with her mother to work at Greythorne, the sprawling estate of the powerful Rennard family. Born into servitude but restless with a force she cannot name, Eve is drawn into the orbit of Saskia Rennard, the family's magnetic and dangerous daughter. What begins as attraction quickly becomes entanglement, pulling Eve into a world where wealth masks cruelty, gender dictates roles, and love outside the rules is a dangerous rebellion.

Fans of gothic romance, sapphic romantasy, and dark historical fantasy will be spellbound. With echoes of Mexican Gothic, A Dowry of Blood, and the decadent intrigue of Bridgerton, Pearl Bound delivers a story of resilience, passion, and awakening.

For readers of fantasy with LGBTQ+ romance, gothic historical settings, and supernatural intrigue, this debut novel will leave you breathless until the final page.
