Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes changed in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne died and left 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 will inherit billions. Heir obviously Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a child, 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.

**  Avery's story continues in  The Hawthorne Legacy  and  The Final Gambit
