Third Act

Through tangled webs and falsities, some masks protect and some masks deceive.

The society pages have always painted Sloane Fielder as a reckless heiress, the same one her adoptive family believes her to be. But she’s always known the truth: that she’s an artist, a fighter, a dreamer. Most importantly, she’s a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum, just like her birth mother—consequences be damned.

But that was before, and now she’s desperate to claw her way back to that version of herself: before her mother’s diagnosis, before she let love lead her astray, before her past became too heavy to bear. Finding that girl again is what she should be focusing on, not the distractingly charming point guard who’s everywhere he shouldn’t be.

She was not a part of the plan—the one Andrew Spellman mastered everyday for the past three years: funnel information about his wealthy peers to his shady, estranged father, network his way out of poverty on said father’s dime, and keep a roof over his mother and sister’s head. But Sloane makes sticking to that plan impossible.The more she keeps him at arm’s length, the harder it becomes to ignore the way being together feels. As their masks start to slip, so do the truths they’ve concealed, and the cost of their love will change everything.

Third Act is the third book in the Astor Hill series and cannot be read as a standalone.
