Marie Roberts:
The Southern Rose of The Gilded Coin

Marie Roberts, known as the Southern Rose of The Gilded Coin, was born on a Texas ranch to a Welsh-descended cattle baron and a sharp-tongued socialite. Raised with discipline, charm, and an independent spirit, she left behind high society expectations to forge her own path in the bustling city life. Her natural leadership and sharp intuition quickly propelled her through the hospitality world, but it wasn’t until she crossed paths with mob boss Declan O’Hara that her ambitions found their stage.

​

Now the head hostess of The Gilded Coin, Marie is both the face and the nerve center of the speakeasy. Elegant yet fierce, she manages the crowd, navigates delicate power plays, and keeps the operation running like clockwork. Trusted by Declan and feared by rivals, Marie is more than a hostess—she’s a force in pearls and heels, shaping the course of the speakeasy's story from the shadows.
