The Brothers Hawthorne

by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

First published 2023

Grayson Hawthorne was groomed from birth to inherit his grandfather's empire, but now Tobias Hawthorne is dead and the fortune belongs to someone else. When his half-sisters land in serious trouble, Grayson does what he knows best: he fixes problems with cold efficiency, no emotions attached. Meanwhile, his brother Jameson thrives on risk and mystery. When their enigmatic father surfaces with a request, Jameson cannot resist. He must penetrate London's most secretive underground gambling den, where the wealthy and powerful place bets that could destroy lives. The game seems unwinnable, but Jameson feeds on impossible odds. As the brothers navigate dangerous games on different continents, they must choose who they want to become. With help from their other brothers and the girl who claimed their inheritance and captured their hearts, Grayson and Jameson discover what they will sacrifice for victory. The Hawthorne legacy demands nothing less than triumph.
