With an almighty bombshell dropped at the end of The Inheritance Games, Jennifer Lynn Barnes set the stage exquisitely for The Hawthorne Legacy, the second book in an exhilarating series that’ll satisfy a huge range of reader types — from romance addicts, to fans of rip-roaring mysteries. What’s more, though laced with tightly-crafted, complex plot twists, The Inheritance Games series is written in an immediately engaging style that’ll grip even the most reluctant of readers.
“If there’s one thing I’d learned about Tobias Hawthorne, it was that he was capable of orchestrating nearly anything, manipulating nearly anyone. He’d loved puzzles and riddles and games”. So declares Avery near the opening of this second book in the series, and it’s fair to say manipulation and a sense of orchestration ripples through this page-turning sequel, along with heightening intrigue around its well-crafted cast of characters, not least Jameson and Grayson Hawthorne.
Though the late Tobias’ last game and trail of clues had led Avery and the bros to believe she’d inherited his fortune for one set of reasons, it seems that wasn’t the whole truth, and as Avery is caught in a confusing tug-of-war pull between two of the brothers, she realises there’s more at stake than money.
By turns undulant with intrigue and all-out explosive, the secrets revealed at the end of The Hawthorne Legacy will have readers reaching for book three pronto.

The Hawthorne Legacy Synopsis
OVER 4 MILLION COPIES SOLD OF THE #1 BESTSELLING SERIES!
Intrigue, riches, and romance abound in this thrilling sequel to the beloved bestselling The Inheritance Games
The Inheritance Games ended with a bombshell, and now heiress Avery Grambs has to pick up the pieces and find the man who might hold the answers to all of her questions-including why Tobias Hawthorne left his entire fortune to Avery, a virtual stranger, rather than to his own daughters or grandsons.
Thanks to a DNA test, Avery knows she's not a Hawthorne by blood, but clues pile up hinting at a deeper connection to the family than she had ever imagined. As the mystery grows and the plot thickens, Grayson and Jameson, two of the enigmatic and magnetic Hawthorne grandsons, continue to pull Avery in different directions. And there are threats lurking around every corner, as adversaries emerge who will stop at nothing to see Avery out of the picture-by any means necessary.
With nonstop action, aspirational jet-setting, Knives Out-like family intrigue, swoonworthy romance, and billions of dollars hanging in the balance, The Hawthorne Legacy will thrill Jennifer Lynn Barnes fans and new readers alike.
