--Kylie Scott, NYT bestseller

ABOUT THE BOOK.
Bailey is as normal as could be, with a genius IQ and a photographic memory. But still, normal for her. Then, things happen -- a guy breaks into her house in the middle of the night to take her hostage. She learns her father is billionaire tech genius Peter Francis, the same guy she’s idolized all her life. She finds all this out when she meets dark, mysterious, and electrifying Kashton Colello. He’s also an associate of her father’s, and he gives Bailey two choices—go with him and meet her father or survive on her own because those kidnappers are going to try again.
It’s a no-brainer.
After this, three things become clear for Bailey:
1. She has to live at her father’s sprawling estate, complete with bodyguards and the best security that money can buy.
2. She’s no longer an only child. She has three siblings and has no idea what to do with them and vice versa.
3. She is being guarded by Kash himself. Personally guarded. And there is a lot of guarding going on there and some of it is going to drive her crazy.
A complete outsider in a world of wealth and decadence, Bailey has to find her way within a family that has more secrets than she could have imagined. One of these secrets could be deadly…

READ AN EXCERPT.
We were heading out of Chicago, and maybe another half hour or so from the small town where my mom and I lived.
Wait. Second thought—where we used to live?
What would my mom do now? Could Chrissy Hayes remain in that house after I was just attacked, almost taken hostage? I called my mother by all kinds of names—Chrissy Hayes, Chrissy, or Mom. Or, well, a whole other kind of names too, because to say she’s a character is putting it mildly. And we have an interesting relationship to say the least.
I might be deflecting here.
Numb. I was numb. I should be pissing my pants, but instead I’m ruminating over how I refer to my mother.
Could I stay in that house after what just happened?
I’d been planning to spend time with Chrissy, helping with the house and working at the local computer store to make some extra money before I left for school. But now . . . fuck if I knew.
Myriad curses went through my mind as I realized Chrissy would have to move.
Shivers pierced me as I went over what had happened tonight, but then we were pulling into a driveway, next to a booth. A large gate barricaded us from moving forward.
Official police business, my tech ass.
Then again, nothing seemed official. I was told that I was being taken to my mother, but I left with two detectives. Bright and Wilson. They introduced themselves, then said she couldn’t see me in the hospital. They didn’t explain why, but I was to go with them to see her.
I went.
I was in the backseat of their unmarked car a few minutes later.
Bright’s window rolled down. She flashed her badge. “We’re expected.”
The attendant nodded, hitting a button. The gate opened, showing a campus of buildings behind it. Some made of dark red brick. Some seemingly made of reflective windows, top to bottom. Some painted totally black. A large parking lot sat in the middle of the buildings. “Phoenix Tech” was on a sign in front of the first building, but we went past, heading around it and toward a smaller building on the opposite end of the lot.
My tongue was glued to the back of my throat. We were at Phoenix Tech headquarters.
I had yearned to get an internship there every year since fifth grade, and then through college. I kept applying, but they kept denying. Some might say I was being desperate. I prefer determined. It’s a quality that I feel is honorable. Plus, I wasn’t above hoping they’d take pity on me one day. It worked, because while I might not have been good enough to walk their hallways, I was good enough for them to give me charity. They awarded me the majority of my grants for undergrad, so I’d been able to go to college debt free. I’d been expecting that to change for graduate school, but it hadn’t. Or, well, it kind of had.
I was hired as a graduate assistant, starting in the fall, which gave me a stipend, but the rest was covered by another scholarship from Phoenix Tech.
Phoenix Tech was one of the world’s leading companies on cyber security. I was going into information systems, which was close enough. A job here would be a dream.
“My mom is here?” I asked, when Bright parked, and both her and Wilson got out of the vehicle.
Neither answered.
Bright opened my back door and motioned for me, slipping her sunglasses over her eyes. “It’s time for you to find out some answers.”

OUR REVIEWS.
5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is Why I Like Tijan...
Granted, I haven't read a book from her in a while, but I was a HUGE fan of her earlier writings. Fallen Crest, Broken and Screwed, Jaded, Brady Remington...I can go on, but won't. There is a certain style she has when bringing a story to life with a nice handful of characters that are just as interesting as the main characters and that is exactly what she did with The Insiders. There's a whole lot more than romance going on in this book.
We are introduced to Bailey and Kash, two very different people from very different worlds, thrown together under very different circumstances. That's another thing Tijan can pull off, the unbelievable world of the rich and famous. Bailey's father is a billionaire that lives a life she has never been a part of, until now. Kash is an associate of her father's and his one and only job now is to keep Bailey safe. All she's ever wanted is to meet her dad and now that she has, it's nothing that she dreamed it would be.
Kash was a mystery and the more I read, the more I wanted to know about this guy. While he was an associate, a lower level player if you will, he had moxie and a lot of it. So much that the billionaire dad took his cues from the guy we don't know much about. I liked Kash and Bailey from the get go. Maybe it was because they were so far on the outside of the rich and famous. The rest of the family was hard to take. You know why they are the way they are, but man, they were still super annoying.
While the blurb pretty much spells out the gist of the book, it's all in the details, something Tijan is a master of. She has us completely invested in this entire family, so much so, that I wasn't ready for what was really going on around them. There were a lot of moving parts and stuff to try and figure out and I enjoyed every page of it.
The book is well written and I will have to say that I do miss this girl's writing. It's been too long and completely my fault. The Insiders has tons of action, drama and angst going on and more to come. I didn't realize this was the first in a trilogy, so of course there is more story to tell and more questions to be answered and I'm sure, more interesting characters to meet.
