Entwined Series Book #1 "Love Unraveled" Tessa Monroe People think being a Monroe means my life is easy. Rich, bratty, entitled-blah blah blah. Today, though, sitting in the marble lobby of Prescott & Hale, clutching my intern schedule with numb fingers, I feel anything but powerful. Especially when I see the name I'm assigned under.
