'Rubies are red.
Sapphires are blue.
Beware of the Ruby women, they will ruin you.'

                                                         *

The Rubys are notorious for their beauty, wealth and power. When beautiful and successful Chevelle Ruby is found dead during one of her famed elite parties, apparently from drowning, the well-constructed barrier of the flawless Ruby family starts to show cracks. 

20 years old Remy 'Rey' Ruby will do anything to be away from her family drama. But the death of her sister brought nothing but unwanted spotlight, especially when Rey's ex-ish boyfriend goes missing the day after the murder. And what's more? 10 million of her sister's money is missing. According to the police, it isn't a coincidence. 

With NYPD's undeniably hot Detective Tristan Rodriguez following her every move, Rey struggles between saving her family's reputation and finding the killer. But not all is what it seems like to be. Everyone has secrets. It's just a matter of how much they are willing to deceive people just to protect them.

Because in a world where money rules, love is just a pawn in their game of power.
