not this billionaire secretly surveilling a low income teenage girl for most of her adolescence while she's struggling to stay afloat and literally living out of her car? taking and saving photos of her without her knowledge? and hoarding his wealth all the while? while she's barely scraping by? until the day he dies and finally decides-now that he no longer needs that wealth-it'll all go to her in exchange for using her as a pawn in his family's trauma olympics? GUILLOTINE!.
all you need to do is give your teenage main character a vaguely tragic past, enough stubbornness to allow her to mildly bump heads with love interests every once in a while, a weakness for hot emotionally unavailable rich boys, and a best friend of color to carry things (for flavor).
His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a conwoman, and he's determined to take her down. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. 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. The catch? Avery has no idea why - or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.
But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out.
