    Born from science yet shaped by defiance, Ruth Rossiter has always lived in the shadow of contradiction. As a child, she unravels the secrets of a family she never knew—one bound by power, divided by ideology, and haunted by a battle over the life-extending drug, Gnia-itra. With each revelation, her world expands, forcing her to reconcile the impossible: a mother who fought against the very science that made her existence possible and a father who defied fate to bring her into the world. 
As she pieces together her origins, Ruth wrestles with the weight of two legacies—one of justice, one of privilege. But in a society built on control and exclusion, knowledge is dangerous. 
This second installment of The Legacy Series follows Ruth’s transformation from a child caught between worlds to a young woman forging her own destiny. As she learns to navigate power, deception, and the ghosts of those who came before her, she unknowingly takes the first steps toward a future that will redefine the world—becoming a leader in the fight for change.

    You know what you did. So do I. 
The man who’s been stalking Private Investigator Winter Black is dead, but he wasn’t working alone. Threats linger in the shadows, and she can’t shake the chilling feeling that she’s being watched. 
It’s about to get personal…again. 
A flyer advertising her business—Black Investigations—was found on the tenth-floor balcony of a woman who apparently jumped to her death. Except Winter has never seen the brochure before. Stranger still, her two newest clients received the same fake flyer, along with a blackmail letter. 
Pay for your crime or kill yourself. 
Did the dead woman receive the same threat and choose option two? Or did someone make that choice for her? 
As Winter digs deeper into her clients’ dark confessions and pasts, she finds more questions than answers—and a terrifying pattern. Someone is playing a twisted game, and the flyers are an invitation for Winter to play…whether she wants to or not. But it’s hard to win when you don’t know the rules. Or your opponent. 
The stakes have never been higher in Winter’s Stalker, the darkly addictive seventh book in the Winter Black Season Two series, where one thing becomes chillingly clear: in this game, there are fates worse than death.
