A Girl Like Us: A Novel

Summary

GOLD DIGGER.

HEIRESS.

MURDERER.

Maya Miller has just married the most eligible bachelor on the planet: Colin Sterling of the famous Sterling empire. Compared to Maya’s Y2K celebrity, the Sterlings are in a different stratosphere with the aristocratic ties and wealth of the global elite. To some, Maya represents a fairy tale. To others, a gold digger. All Maya knows is she has secrets to keep, and staying away from the Sterling stronghold is imperative to protect everything she has built.

But when Colin’s cousin Arianna, the long-lost heiress to the family’s fortune, is found murdered, Maya and the rest of the family are forced into lockdown at the ancestral estate. They’re told it’s for their own safety, but Maya becomes convinced it’s not to keep threats out but to keep her and the family’s secrets in. Especially when the late heiress had her own tricks up her sleeve … naming Maya to take her place.

Now, trapped in an opulent and ominous country house, surrounded by the ghosts of Arianna’s childhood, Maya is bent on discovering what the Sterlings are hiding and why Arianna, a girl she had never met, chose her to inherit everything. Because one heiress is already dead, and Maya is determined not to be next.
