Perfect for you if...

  • You love historical romance set in Gilded Age New York with real stakes and morally grey characters who challenge each other.
  • You're drawn to stories where wealthy heroines lose everything and have to rebuild their sense of self without their privilege.
  • You enjoy enemies-to-lovers narratives where both parties have legitimate reasons to distrust each other from the start.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer romances where the hero's past trauma is resolved neatly rather than explored as an ongoing wound that shapes his choices.
  • You want lighter historical settings without the darker undertones of financial ruin, manipulation, and social cruelty.
  • You need your heroines to maintain agency throughout rather than experiencing a period of genuine powerlessness.

About this book

Set among the mansions of the Astors and Vanderbilts and the gas-lit streets of New York, this novel follows Alana Van Alen, a New York heiress with beauty, wealth, and status who is living a lie to protect her sister. After a calculated act of revenge leaves her penniless, she falls under the control of Trevor Sheridan, one of the city's most notorious gentlemen. Sheridan, known as the Predator of Wall Street, rose from poverty in Ireland to power in Manhattan, though the city's elite Four Hundred continue to shun him. He has devised a scheme to destroy the rich and powerful, with his final phase involving marriage to the pedigreed Alana Van Alen to gain the acceptance he has been denied. However, he makes an unexpected mistake: he falls in love with her. This is the first book in the Van Alen Sisters series. The story of Christal Van Alen continues in Fair Is the Rose.
