A past secret. A present danger. A future forfeited.

Jane Swift is a seventeen-year-old with a fondness for historical romance and cryptograms. Raised by her brother, it was always them against the world. After he’s accused of vehicular homicide, it’s the world against them. Then she discovers her family’s secret fortune, changing everything.

Duke leads a double life. When a new girl arrives in town, she’s like a riddle he can’t solve, distracting him from the deadline he faces. If he’s not successful, it’s game over. But when their worlds collide, leading them to the campus of a prestigious boarding school, he’s ready to give it all up for her.

Lizzie Boots is on the run, surviving on thievery and trickery. Jane needs her help to solve a crime and claim her inheritance. She and Duke have a past, and unfortunately, doing the right thing means betrayal. Lucky for Lizzie, she’s not known for her honesty and would prefer notoriety, whatever the cost.

Jack had a choice to make: protect his sister or lose everything. As she digs for clues, she comes too close to the truth, putting her in danger. No stranger to deception and subterfuge, he’s forced to put Jane in the middle of the Old Guard Games—an annual event by the campus secret society—to save her.

Solving a murder isn’t as easy as piecing together a puzzle, but their lives depend on it.
