emotionally charged historical romance of forbidden desire

  • The Gilded Garden & the Hidden Heart

    In the opulent, dangerous court of Versailles, a love that could cost them everything begins with a single touch.

    Prince Augustin, suffocated by royal duty, finds his only freedom in the palace gardens—and in Léo, the humble gardener whose quiet strength and connection to the earth captivate him. From tentative friendship in secluded bowers, their bond deepens into a passionate, secret love, nurtured in a humble cottage and under moonlit waters.

    But their sanctuary is fragile. The watchful eyes of the court are everywhere: the cunning Comtesse Isabelle, who sees Augustin as her pawn; the ambitious valet, Pierre, who collects secrets like currency; and the ever-present threat of scandal. When jealousy and blackmail turn their private haven into a battlefield, Augustin and Léo must transform from clandestine lovers into daring conspirators. To protect each other, they must risk using the very tools of the gilded cage they seek to escape.

    The Gilded Garden & the Hidden Heart is a lush, emotionally charged historical romance of forbidden desire, heart-stopping risk, and the transformative power of a love that defies all boundaries. It is a story of tender intimacy and fierce defiance, where the greatest riches are found not in gold-leafed halls, but in the secret, verdant world two hearts build together.
