Rumors about The Knox and its influence have swirled through Boston for centuries. While some see it merely as an elite social club, others are certain it hides something more sinister.

Vivian Lawrence was born into old-money Boston, but when her family fortune vanishes, so does her carefully curated life. Desperate, she turns to an old family legend that ties her to The Knox and its inheritance, searching for a way into the elusive secret society. She doesn’t expect that entry to come in the form of Peter, a Knox insider with movie star good looks and just enough roughness to his charm to make Vivian truly weak in the knees for the first time in her life.

Far from Boston’s glittering elite is newcomer Taylor Adams, a restless young nurse eager to distance herself from her simple Outer Banks upbringing. But the closest Taylor gets to high society is by peering longingly into the windows of opulent Boston townhomes—until one night, an effortlessly glamorous patient arrives in her ER. From her Louboutin heels to her perfect blowout, Vivian is everything Taylor aspires to be.
