The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

A Billion-Dollar Mystery. Four Dangerous Brothers. One Girl Who Has No Idea Why She's Been Chosen.

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But when a stranger dies and leaves her virtually his entire multi-billion-dollar fortune, her carefully laid plans are blown apart. There's just one condition: she must live in Hawthorne House, the sprawling estate of the eccentric billionaire — with his four grandsons, who are not at all happy about sharing their inheritance with a girl they've never met.

The Hawthorne brothers are brilliant, dangerous, and full of secrets. And somewhere in this house, there are clues. Because Tobias Hawthorne was a man who never did anything without a reason — and Avery is determined to find out why she was chosen.

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is an addictive, puzzle-filled mystery with heart-pounding twists, irresistible romance, and a cast of characters you won't be able to stop thinking about. Book #1 of the series that has taken the world by storm.
