All This Could Be Yours

A young woman with the chance to inherit billions must first contend with a manipulative, wealth family in this lush, riveting inheritance drama by debut author Ashley Chalmers.

When Lucie Sinclair returns to her California hometown for the funeral of her father’s billionaire employer, Bertram Fairfax, the last thing she expects is to be named as the potential heir to the estate. The three Fairfax grandchildren—Lachlan, Miles, and Nora—are even more shocked. But, as their grandmother Lilian states, Bertram’s final stipulation is clear: If his three scandal-plagued grandchildren can’t salvage the family name by the end of summer, the entire fortune goes to Lucie.

Lucie quickly becomes the center of attention, be it affection or disdain. It doesn’t take long for the siblings to begin conspiring, and Lucie is caught in the middle of a battle for billions. Complicating things further is Miles, who wants to rekindle their lost relationship, while Nora only wants Lucie gone. But it’s Lachlan who proposes an alliance: spend the summer falling in love to win over Lilian before she ultimately decides all of their fates.

As summer slips by at the family’s sprawling estate, the Chateau des Bois, tensions reach a breaking point. What follows is a deftly imagined collision of old-money dysfunction, fractured relationships, webs of deceit, and the allure of new love, all set against the glittering backdrop of California’s elite.
