#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents
Legacy, a new novel of a mother and a daughter, of ambition and
romance, and of a traumatic past reawakened by a terrifying threat...
Adrian Rizzo was seven when she met her father for the first time. That
was the day he nearly killed her--before her mother, Lina, stepped in.
Soon after, Adrian was dropped off at her grandparents' house in
Maryland, where she spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with
dogs, making a new best friend--and developing the stirrings of a crush
on her friend's ten-year-old brother. Lina, meanwhile, traveled the
country promoting her fitness brand and turning it into a billion-dollar
business. There was no point in dwelling on the past.
A decade later, Adrian has created her own line of yoga and workout
videos, following in Lina's footsteps but intent on maintaining creative
control. And she's just as cool-headed and ambitious as her mother. They
aren't close, but they're cordial--as long as neither crosses the other.
But while Lina dismisses the death threats that Adrian starts getting as
a routine part of her daughter's growing celebrity, Adrian can't help
but find the vicious rhymes unsettling. Year after year, they keep
arriving--the postmarks changing, but the menacing tone the same. They
continue after she returns to Maryland and becomes reacquainted with
Raylan, her childhood crush, all grown up and as gorgeously green-eyed
as ever. Sometimes it even seems like the terrifying messages are indeed
routine, like nothing will come of them. Until the murders start, and
the escalation begins...
