After years of tragedy, Gwen Kellerman now lives a quiet life as a botanist at an idyllic New York college. She largely ignores her status as heiress to the infamous Blackstone dynasty and hopes to keep her family's heartbreak and scandal behind her.
Patrick O'Neill survived a hardscrabble youth to become a lawyer for the downtrodden Irish immigrants in his community. He's proud of his work, even though he struggles to afford his ramshackle law office. All that changes when he accepts a case that is sure to emphasize the Blackstones' legacy of greed and corruption by resurrecting a thirty-year-old mystery.
Little does Patrick suspect that the Blackstones will launch their most sympathetic family member to derail him. Gwen is tasked with getting Patrick to drop the case, but the old mystery takes a shocking twist neither of them saw coming. Now, as they navigate a burgeoning attraction and growing danger, Patrick and Gwen will be forced to decide if the risk to the life they've always held dear is worth the reward.
My Review
This book had me from the beginning, and it kept me coming back until the end. The characters were great, and there were some very surprising twists in the plot. I feel like there is something unique about the way Elizabeth Camden does her stories/characters. And she has done it again with this one. It's a great story and I highly recommend it. And now I can hardly wait for book two in The Blackstone Legacy series to come out!
I received this book free through NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. The opinions are my own.
