Description：

At forty-two, Serena Holt has everything she fought for: money, a thriving business, and the freedom she never had in her marriage. What she doesn't have is warmth.

When she meets Tyler, a college student working as her personal trainer, she tells herself it's just a game — a small reclamation of the youth she never got to live. But games have a way of escaping the hands that start them.

A Gilded Cage is a quiet, devastating novel about a woman who mistakes possession for desire and loneliness for license. Told with unflinching honesty, it asks how much damage a person can justify to themselves — and whether the moment we understand what we've done can also be the moment we become, finally, unable to look away.
