Brief Description:
Don’t miss this New York Times bestselling “impossible to put down”
(Buzzfeed) novel with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and juicy secrets–
perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying and Knives Out. Avery Grambs has a
plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get
out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias
Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch?
Avery has no idea why — or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her
inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled
Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man’s touch — and his love
of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is
also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This
includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys
who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit
billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a
conwoman, and he’s determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views
her as their grandfather’s last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be
solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every
turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
