The Hennessy Lie
No matter how deeply it’s buried, the truth always digs its way out.
For Piper Covington, the consequences may be deadly.
Piper Covington was a little girl when Mom described Dad as an evil monster who died before she was born. It scared Piper to be half monster, and her lingering fear has become an identity crisis that follows her to college. So when a stranger shows up whispering info about her alleged father’s recent death, she’s desperate to know more.
It seems she may be heir to the Hennessy fortune, but she’ll have to find her father’s hidden will to claim it. Unfortunately, Piper’s not the only one searching for the document, and an annoyingly handsome guy is challenging her birthright.
When cryptic clues lead Piper to the abandoned Hennessy estate, she becomes tangled in a web of dark family secrets, and instead of digging up Dad’s lost will, she exhumes a long-buried lie. Now that she knows the shocking truth, dangerous people will do anything to silence her. Racing against time, Piper must risk one last chance to secure her legacy—or die trying.
The Inheritance Games meets The Rosewood Hunt and Outer Banks in this twisty, page-turning thriller that weaves swoony enemies-to-lovers romance, a teen’s need for belonging, and the heartwarming impact of a true best friend into one suspenseful, jaw-dropping plot.
