The Gilded Tomb

Mercy Vane freezes to death in a blizzard, clutching a bag of worthless copper, only to wake in a warm, subterranean palace walled with solid gold. Her rescuer, Elias Thorne, claims he prayed for a wife and God delivered her to his doorstep deep within the earth. Mercy believes she has scammed her way into a fortune, but she soon realizes that the opulence is not a gift, but a cage, and the mine is not a home, but a sealed tomb where Elias intends for them to reign eternally.
