He arrives all dressed in black. Diamond cufflinks. A watch on his tanned wrist that cost more than we would ever see in a lifetime of work. He carries a single red rose for my mother.
Months later, Tiernan Morelli lays red roses on my mother’s grave. That same day, he tells me that he is my new guardian.
I should have known from the very start that he had more in common with the thorns than the rose. Now I know the truth: I’m a pawn in his dangerous game of revenge. I was too young and naive. Now it's too late to save myself from his clutches.
I belong to him.
My Review:
The moment Bianca Belcante moved to Texas, she never imagined that she would be moving back to
New York City with her little brother and new guardian. She is finally in the city she’s always wanted to be without her mom and Bianca needs to figure out how to navigate her new life with Tiernan. He was her mom’s wealthy mystery man and Bianca never got along with him. In her head no man was going to fix their problems, until her mom passed away and Tiernan was the only one she thought to call for help. Now she is in Bishop’s Landing, living among the wealthiest people which includes the Constantines and Morellis.
There is so much that she wants to know about her dad’s family and get to know them. Yet, she is still in the shadows as she has always been growing up. Meanwhile, Tiernan is set on transforming her to become worthy of the McTiernan household. Giving her anything at her disposal, but she needs to follow his rules. Her life truly changing when she slowly finds out more about the man she calls her guardian. Beneath the monster he portrays, Tiernan is gentle and protective. There is also the fact that he is insanely attractive and no matter how much she wants to deny it, Bianca has develop feelings for him. It’s until they cross the line of no return when things go south and she finds out that Tiernan has been lying to her all this time.
It’s their imperfections that have made the Morellis a dark force in New York City’s high society. They don’t pretend to be clean like their rivals, the Constantine family. As the third son of Bryant and Sarah Morelli, Tiernan Morelli, is the black sheep of the family. He has spent the last thirty years trying to prove himself to his father and siblings. Yet, never once has he ever been called for help so he is surprised when Bianca reaches out to him when she needs him the most. He knows what’s like to be cast in the shadows as he was groomed to be a monster by his own father. The rivalry between the two powerful families goes way back and Tiernan thinks he can end the rivalry for good by brining down the head of the Constantine family. So he sets out to do just that and that includes bringing down Bianca and her brother as well. They are pawns to his dangerous game of revenge, until Bianca starts to see something in him that he hasn’t seen before, hope. Tiernan can’t develop feelings for her, but it’s too late and he finds himself wanting to protect Bianca from the plan that he started.
I liked the overall concept of the story, this is definitely an age-gap forbidden romance that’s steamy and hard to put down. There is so much to the characters as we find out more about their backgrounds and how their families play a role when it comes to their future. There are family secrets and a bit of a mystery as well. The book itself is short and it also end on a cliffhanger. All in all, it was a good start to the duet and I can’t wait to read what happens next! :)
