From New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Mercedes Ron comes her adult debut—an addictive romantic thriller about a young woman’s protected life and the bodyguard she can’t resist.
*Soon to be a Major Motion Picture*
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.
TW: This novel contains themes that may be sensitive for some readers, including kidnapping, violence, and power imbalance. Reader discretion is advised.
I was giggling and kicking my feet,
"Thank you for NetGalley and Simon and schuster for sending me an ARC copy of Drawn together. Holy hell, who was gonna warn me. This book is beyond good, it’s literally perfect. The banter, and the chemistry were burning through the pages. This book follows Marfil who is a student at the University of Columbia, she comes from a wealthy background, but wants to live in New York City as a normal girl. One day she gets kidnapped and things go downhill from there. so her dad, scared for her life, hires her a bodyguard, Sebastian. I FEAR SEBASTIAN IS MAKING TOP TEN BOOK BOYFRIENDS BECAUSE THIS MAN IS THE ONE OF THE SILENT ONES WITH LOUD ACTIONS. He didn’t say much, but oh did he show his love and care for Marfil. In both the big and small things, the man is literal perfection!! He literally stays in her room just sitting on a chair because she’s too scared to sleep by herself because of an incident, and just watch’s over he until she sleeps. OMG DONT GE ME STARTED ON CLEANING HER TATOO!! I don’t wanna spoil things and I can’t quote anything since this is an ARC, but god I wish I could, the little things he says I was swooning and fan girling so hard. I think you guys get it at this point, this book is a must read MUST READ, especially with the movie coming out this September. Make sure you put this title to your TBR and your watchlist!"
