CALIFORNIA'S MILLIONAIRE FAMILIES LIVE BY THEIR OWN RULES.

​

When Abi Acardi leaves Boston for Bel Air, she's determined to keep her head down and survive her final years of high school. But fitting in at the prestigious Gilderson School proves harder than she imagined. Surrounded by wealth, status, and students who've known each other their entire lives, Abi quickly realizes she's an outsider in a world that rarely welcomes newcomers.

​

Then everything changes.

​

Drawn into the orbit of the school's most influential social circle, Abi finds herself caught between two very different boys: Shane, the charismatic quarterback everyone admires, and Burton, the loyal childhood friend whose unexpected return stirs feelings she thought she'd left behind.

​

As friendships deepen and loyalties are tested, a mysterious invitation opens the door to a hidden side of Los Angeles society—one built on privilege, secrets, and dangerous expectations. The deeper Abi becomes entangled in this exclusive world, the more she discovers that appearances can be deceiving, and that some people will do almost anything to protect what they stand to lose.

​

In a city where power hides behind perfect smiles, choosing who to trust may be the most important decision she'll ever make.

​

BLACK LYON is the first novel in The Abi Acardi Series—a captivating YA coming-of-age drama filled with romance, friendship, emotional tension, and the glamour of Bel Air's elite.
