Her gilded world holds a deeply hidden secret. 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.

I just downloaded a copy of [b:Hearts of Steel|61137164|Hearts of Steel (The Blackstone Legacy, #3)|Elizabeth Camden|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1663708014l/61137164.SY75.jpg|96366255] and then I realized it was the third in a series. I set out to look, and sure enough discovered I had bought Carved in Stone as well as [b:Written on the Wind|59355501|Written on the Wind (The Blackstone Legacy, #2)|Elizabeth Camden|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1642984950l/59355501.SY75.jpg|93260049] with good intentions to read them. Oops. Quickly, I downloaded the missing books and set to read them. Gwen was a unique character and I thoroughly enjoyed her story. I found myself craving to go back and find out what would happen next with her and her lawyer connection when I had a moment to read. As per usual, I have lots of books on the go, and this one called me back time and again and when I finished it, I didn't even wait a night to start into the sequel.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bethany House Publishers for provided a copy for review. I'm delighted to have bought a copy to have added to my collection for future reading. I'm so sorry that I didn't read it sooner, as I didn't know what I was missing.
