Eighteen-year-old Anastasia Blanc seems to have it all; wealth, beauty, and the glitz of her West Coast socialite life. But behind the towering gates of her family's estate lies a darker truth: her father's abusive control over her mother, a secret that threatens to unravel everything.

Anastasia loathes her picturesque coastal town where gossip travels faster than the ocean breeze and every country club party feels like a battlefield of hidden agendas. Her only solace is her younger sister, Charlotte, a 16-year-old dreamer who still believes in happy endings.

As summer vacation begins, a new face arrives in town: Nate Holland, a charming yet grounded guy who's taken a job at the country club. Nate's easygoing nature and honesty are a stark contrast to the superficial world Anastasia knows, and she finds herself drawn to him in ways she's never felt before.

As their connection deepens, Anastasia discovers something she never thought possible: a sense of home, not in the lavish mansion she despises, but in the quiet moments she shares with Nate. But in a town where secrets are currency and reputations are everything, can Anastasia truly escape her family's shadow and build a life worth living?

With the drama and allure of Gossip Girl, the heart of One Tree Hill, and the tension of The O.C., 'Silver Lies, Golden Chains' is a gripping story of love, resilience, and finding your place in a world that feels anything but safe.

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square.
