The Brothers Hawthorne cover

In The Brothers Hawthorne, two brothers navigate family secrets and high-stakes games that test their loyalty and challenge their hearts.

In The Brothers Hawthorne, two brothers are thrust into a world of high stakes and family secrets that will test their loyalty and resolve. Grayson Hawthorne, groomed to be the heir of a billionaire empire, faces a dilemma when his half-sisters encounter trouble. His upbringing has taught him to prioritize family above all else, but as he navigates the murky waters of wealth and responsibility, he struggles to maintain emotional distance while addressing the challenges that arise. Grayson’s determination to handle issues with efficiency and a cool head is put to the test in unexpected ways.

On the other side of the spectrum is Jameson Hawthorne, the thrill-seeker who thrives on risk and excitement. When his enigmatic father presents him with a formidable challenge, he dives headfirst into the underground gambling scene of London. The stakes are higher than ever, and Jameson must rely on his cunning and charm to win a game that could change everything. As he infiltrates the elite circles of the wealthy, he discovers that the thrill of the game comes with its own set of dangers.

As the brothers find themselves on opposite ends of a complex web of intrigue, they are forced to confront not only their own motivations but also the bonds that tie them together. With a girl who has captured both their hearts caught in the middle, The Brothers Hawthorne is a gripping tale of sacrifice, ambition, and the lengths one will go to win in a world rife with impossible challenges.

Barnes is a master of puzzles and plot twists. -- E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars
