Ivory

He was my protection… and my greatest weakness. Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortés lives the kind of life people imagine from afar. The daughter of a powerful businessman, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes, stolen hours at her ballet studio, and glittering nights in New York City.Her world feels untouchable — polished, predictable, safe. Until the afternoon she’s abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil opens her eyes in a hospital in New Orleans with no memory of what happened.There are no demands, no suspects, no explanation, only fear and the unsettling certainty that she is no longer safe. In the wake of the attack, her father tightens security and assigns her a bodyguard: Sebastian Moore. Sebastian is controlled, distant, unreadable — a man whose discipline borders on dangerous.His quiet intensity unsettles and infuriates Marfil in equal measure, stirring resentment toward his presence, his rules, his unyielding watchfulness. Yet as the threat surrounding her refuses to fade, Sebastian becomes the one person she cannot escape… and the one she cannot stop wanting. What begins as tension slowly ignites into something far more dangerous.Because the closer Marfil gets to Sebastian, the more she realizes the greatest risk may not be the one lurking in the shadows… but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her. Lush, addictive, and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried.
