The Shepherdess in the Golden Cage

Once a wild rose of the Great Plains, June Rivers sacrificed her freedom for the man she loved, only to find herself trapped in the gilded prison of the Thorne estate. To fit into Xavier Thorne’s high-society world, she endured three years of agonizing "refinement" under a sadistic governess, trading her dignity—and even her blood—for a mere kiss or embrace. But when a cruel betrayal costs her her unborn child and her father's remains, the shepherdess realizes the man she saved in the storm was never her savior, but her executioner. Now, as the mask of the aristocratic Thorne family shatters, June is no longer a lamb waiting for slaughter. She is a storm returning to reclaim what’s hers.
