"Maybe you're not as horrible as you think you are." Charlotte Whitmore and Grayson Hawthorne were engaged from the moment they were born, their futures planned for them by their parents. With mixed feelings for each other, Charlotte must figure out how to reach a distant Grayson through the aftermath of his grandfather's sudden death while dealing with her own family drama.

Estelle Hawthorne was never part of the game. She's seven years old. She likes ballet, vanilla cupcakes, and glitter (sorry, Grayson). Being the youngest-and the only girl-in a house full of Hawthorne boys means: someone is always carrying her someone is always panicking about her safety someone is always deeply regretting what they just said out loud This isn't a story about solving riddles or winning fortunes. It's a story about a tiny girl being loved loudly, protected fiercely, and accidentally causing absolute chaos simply by existing. Seven years old. Four brothers. Zero survival instincts. Welcome to Hawthorne House.

⚠️Under heavy editing bc omg I don't know how yall read this⚠️ Catalina Grace Powell is best friends with the Hawthorne family but she's the closest to Jameson Hawthorne. She has lived with them forever, what happens when a random girl inherits a bunch of money from the one and only Tobias Hawthorne? I'm not good at summaries hopefully the book is better than this summary. It is a friend to Lover trope but like Inheritance Game!! I don't see many Jameson stories and yes I totally ship Avery with him but I want some stories with the character falling in love. So here it is!!! Also, Avery will either date Grayson or just be single we'll see where it goes. Also very staggered uploads I upload random snippets at a time for this book because I really need to think about it before I upload how to incorporate Catalina into this complex storyline.

Emerson Hawthorne has always been good with secrets. As the youngest sibling-and only female-her older brothers did everything for her as a child. They talked for her. Carried her. Played with her. Whatever she wanted, she simply needed to point, and it would be done. Now, at fifteen, having spent most of her life in Paris since the age of eleven, Emerson's summoned back to Texas for the funeral and will reading of her late grandfather, Tobias Hawthorne. When she returns to her childhood home, she finds it difficult to face her older brothers after everything's that's happened. The secrets of her life in Paris. Her new wardrobe, appearance, and maturity. How they've all grown up, and Emmy realizes she wishes for something that could never be. For nothing to change. Or, at least for her to go back in time and spend those four years with her brothers. But neither of those are an option. She has to live in the here and now, has to solve the last game her grandfather left for her, one that could change everything for the worse.

The JLB verse. The Naturals and The inheritance games. What happens when the two worlds collide. Avery, the Hawthorne heiress, has met a mystery she can't solve. And let's be honest a murder mystery isn't her area of expertise. But it is for the Naturals. The Naturals arrive at the Hawthorne House in Texas ready to crack the UNSUB. But they'll need help in mystery solving. I guess that's where Avery and the Hawthorne's come in. I don't own the characters. They belong to Jennifer. But I do own my very twisted plot 😊
