Any problem can be fixed for a price . . .
When Tess Kendrick is sent to stay with her older sister in Washington
D.C., she has no idea that Ivy is the capitol’s go-to “fixer,” a person
who can make powerful people’s scandals disappear with a snap of her
fingers. Tess never thought she and Ivy had much in common, but when
she enrolls at the exclusive Hardwicke School, she soon finds herself
thrust into the role of high school fixer, solving problems for the
children of the D.C. elite.
But secrets pile up as each sister lives a double life, and their
worlds come crashing together when a scandal from the halls of
Hardwicke reaches Capitol Hill. As the stakes turn deadly, Tess must
uncover who’s behind the power play before she becomes a target herself.
