Maya Miller is no stranger to the spotlight. As a former reality star and 2004's current it-girl she finds herself the center of attention more often than not. And with her recent marriage to the most eligible bachelor in the world, Colin Sterling, of the famous Sterling family that has lands and titles to rival a British Royal, Maya once again finds herself under scrutiny. She couldn't care less what the public thinks, but when Colin's cousin Arianna, someone she never met and heiress to the family fortune, is found dead and Maya is named as her successor, she has no choice but to once again take center stage. Especially when she becomes the prime suspect in Arianna's murder. Rushed into lockdown with the rest of the Sterling family at Silver House, the family's ancestral estate in the English countryside, Maya now has no choice but to discover and expose the truth about the Sterling family to protect her own name. But Maya has secrets of her own, and she knows that in order to survive the Sterlings, she'll have to beat them at their own game.

Reviews

"Readers will have fun...With its fast-paced intriguing prose, this story filled with complicated family dynamics la Saltburn or Succession, coupled with the isolation of a Ruth Ware novel or Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, will appeal to mystery/thriller lovers." -- Library Journal
