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 hes determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfathers last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilegewith danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
