Moorewood Family Rules

Jillian Moorewood walks out of prison early and heads straight to the family’s oceanfront estate with a helicopter entrance, a smile like a blade, and a plan. Her uncle Jay and the glittering Moorewoods have always put the con first and the truth last. But Jillian’s done playing. She owns the house, controls the money, and gives the family a choice: go legit, confess, and move out—or get cut off for good.

What follows is a delicious, cinematic showdown: a ballroom of secrets, a command-center wall tracking crimes, a near fall from a balcony, and a bodyguard who takes his job (and Jillian) very seriously. Add a socialite girlfriend who isn’t who she says she is, a rich boyfriend who might actually be in love, a sister who’s sleeping with the enemy, and one great-aunt who’s somehow three steps ahead—even when she’s the one who caused the mess in the first place.

Moorewood Family Rules is a fast, funny, sharp-tongued tale of dirty money, family loyalty, and what happens when a woman finally refuses to hold everyone else together. If you like high-society drama, tight cons, and a heroine who shows up with receipts, this is your ride.
