Avery VanDemere says she's lived her whole life in prisons—one
is a mansion, the others are private schools—but prisons,
still. That's why, during the last couple of years, she's
perfected the ability of learning how to escape. On the
brink of finally freeing herself from a hated boarding school,
she is unexpectedly returned home and thrust in the middle
of a competition. Her grandmother, the family matriarch,
is now determined to discover the most worthy VanDemere
to be named sole inheritor. With the help of Riley Tate,
the handsome son of her grandmother's lawyer, Avery sets
out to do much more than prove she should inherit the massive
family wealth. She has a secret mission of her own, and
that's to discover the truth about what really happened
to the mother she never knew. Along the way she must pass
difficult and sometimes perilous challenges, avoid treacherous
relatives, and sort out her growing feelings for Riley.
She'll have to act quickly, though; the pressure is on and
with each challenge, her competitors are more desperate
to win—and to them that means getting rid of Avery.
