Main character Avery Grambs may not know for certain what she is going to do with the rest of her life, but when it comes to the future, she does have a plan. She wants to get through high school, hopefully land a scholarship, and then just get out and make things happen.

However, she was not anticipating a random event changing her plans and her fortune. Everything is suddenly turned upside down when Tobias Hawthorne passes away. The billionaire did not leave his fortune to his family or friends but instead this teenager, Avery, has received nearly all of it. But she has no idea why this is the case or even who the billionaire is. It’s a puzzling mystery– in more ways than one.

But there is a catch if Avery wants to receive the inheritance. She has to move into Hawthorne House, a gigantic and sprawling manor where there are secret passages. Every single room there has the influence of the elder man who passed away and shows the love that he had for all things riddles, puzzles, and codes.

However, Hawthorne House currently still plays home to the relatives that Hawthorne has just put out of his inheritance. That extends to the four grandsons, who are intelligent, magnetic, and dangerous. They also grew up thinking that when the day came that their grandfather passed away, they were set to inherit the billions he possessed.

Grayson Hawthorne was supposed to be the heir, but this new twist has changed everything. He also doesn’t trust Avery, thinking that she must be trying to con them in some way, and won’t stop until he takes her down. Then there’s Jameson, his brother, who thinks that the girl is simply one last attempt at his grandfather to provide a puzzle or a riddle that must be solved.

Caught up in an entirely new world with privilege, wealth, and danger everywhere, she’s going to have to play the game if she wants to make it through this. What will happen, and will she really earn billions? Read this book to find out!
