{"product_id":"the-gilded-cage-of-crescendo","title":"The Gilded Cage of Crescendo","description":"Elena Vance was always told she was a masterpiece.\nA classically trained cellist with fingers that could command silence from a room. A woman whose beauty turned heads beneath crystal chandeliers and whose sharp wit made powerful men uneasy. In every high-society ballroom, she shimmered.\nBut masterpieces are collected.\nIn the shadows of the elite, Elena is not an artist. Not a woman. Not even a choice.\nShe is an offering.\nWhen her name is placed on the auction block, she braces herself for a monster — some aging tycoon with wandering hands and a hunger for ownership.\nInstead, Julian Thorne raises the final bid.\nReclusive. Untouchable. The sovereign of a tech empire built on code and calculated silence. A man whispered about in penthouses and boardrooms. They say his heart is colder than the steel beams of his cliffside fortress.\nBut Julian didn’t purchase Elena to parade her across his empire.\nHe bought her because he saw it —\nThe fire behind her composed exterior.\nThe defiance hidden beneath discipline.\nAnd Julian Thorne does not admire fire.\nHe contains it.\nInside his glass-walled estate overlooking the sea, where the horizon looks infinite but the gates are locked, Elena begins to understand that captivity is not always chains and shadows.\nSometimes it is protection.\nSometimes it is obsession.\nSometimes it feels dangerously close to desire.\nAs Julian’s rivals circle like wolves scenting blood and the tension between them rises to a shattering crescendo, Elena must decide:\nIs she a prisoner in a gilded cage?\nOr has she finally encountered the one man powerful enough — and dangerous enough — to either own her…\nOr set her free?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GQQJGQ12\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GQQJGQ12.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sent, Mizz Heaven\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
