A DEADLY GAME. A PUZZLE TO SOLVE. A FORTUNE AT STAKE.

ONE STEP FORWARDS.
Avery thought that solving the riddle left by billionaire Tobias Hawthorne would reveal why he left her - a complete stranger - his entire fortune.

TWO STEPS BACK.
But as the cryptic clues pile up and Jameson and Grayson, two of the handsome and enigmatic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull her in different directions, Avery wonders who she can really trust.

SECRETS UPON SECRETS.
Soon Avery realizes this game is no longer just about money and power. Now she's playing for her life.
