Jade And Onyx

Hazel James is a woman defined by her shadows. Haunted by a childhood tragedy on James Mansion, she has spent fifteen years living as a jade doll, beautiful, silent, and fragile. Alongside her is her best friend Chloe, the onyx fire to Hazel's ice, who has built a corporate empire to protect them both from the ghosts of their past. But the past is no longer a memory. When a predatory figure from their youth re-emerges with a deadly obsession, the sisters carefully constructed world begins to crumble. To survive the encroaching darkness, they must rely on two men who are as dangerous as the enemies they fight. A powerhouse of strength and loyalty. He is the iron wall standing behind Chloe, a man whose love is as fierce as his protective instincts. From the tension-filled halls of a prestigious university to the rain-drenched streets of the city, and finally to the sun-soaked shores of Hawaii, The Gilded Eden is a journey of profound healing. It is a story about the strength found in friendhood, the courage to face one's monsters, and a love that spans fifteen years, proving that even the most broken souls can find their paradise.
