A Forbidden Love Blossoms

At the heart of Prisoner of Love lies the forbidden romance between Brentwood "Brent" Halloway, a wealthy white plantation owner, and Gabrielle "Gabe" Carter, a beautiful free woman of color. Their love defies the strict social conventions of the time, igniting a flame that burns brightly amidst the shadows of prejudice and danger.

Brent, a progressive and compassionate man, finds himself torn between his love for Gabe and the expectations of his society. Gabe, a woman of remarkable intelligence and courage, must navigate the complexities of her own racial identity while fighting for her right to love and be loved.
