From the New York Times bestselling author of The Program comes a haunting, romantic, and suspenseful story about one girlβs search for healing in a grand and mysterious hotel full of secrets.
Stay tonight. Stay forever.
When Audrey Casella arrives for an unplanned stay at the grand Hotel Ruby, sheβs grateful for the detour. Just months after their motherβs death, Audrey and her brother, Daniel, are on their way to live with their grandmother, dumped on the doorstep of a DNA-matched stranger because their father is drowning in his grief.
Audrey and her family only plan to stay the night, but life in the Ruby can be intoxicating, extending their stay as it provides endless distractionsβincluding handsome guest Elias Lange, who sends Audreyβs pulse racing. However, the hotel proves to be as strange as it is beautiful. Nightly fancy affairs in the ballroom are invitation only, and Audrey seems to be the one guest who doesnβt have an invite. Instead, she joins the hotel staff on the rooftop, catching whispers about the hotelβs dark past.
The more Audrey learns about the new people sheβs met, the more her curiosity grows. Sheβs torn in different directionsβthe pull of her past with its overwhelming loss, the promise of a future that holds little joy, and an in-between in a place that is so much more than it seemsβ¦
And the 13th chapter will only add to the mystery behind the 13th floor of Hotel Ruby...and ultimately, what it means for Audrey.
Welcome to the Ruby.
