A Cinderella story with deadly stakes and thrilling twists, 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 con-woman, 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.

I’m so excited for this one, I can’t wait!
I love the premise and cover. going to add this to my TBR and wish list.
Intriguing story line. The books description really makes one wonder just how Avery and Tobias Hawthorne are connected. It is easy to imagine what a shock it was to his family and the resentment it generated. This is definitely a series I would have looked into when I was working as a children’s librarian.
I cannot wait to read this! And the cover is beautiful!
What an intriguing book! Great cover too.
Sounds like a good one!
This cover is like hidden treasure, love it!
