Sinister Legacy by Harleigh Beck (Paperback) US Import

Keira Hill has spent her life hiding from the truth of who she is. As the daughter of one of the country’s most notorious serial killers, she lives quietly, blending in, suppressing the darkness she fears runs through her blood. With her father’s execution only weeks away, Keira believes the past is finally closing its grip on her life.

That fragile sense of control shatters when a copycat killer begins terrorising the town of Blackwoods. The crimes echo her father’s legacy, and Keira soon realises she is no bystander. She is a focal point in the killer’s twisted game, positioned as a key piece on a deadly chessboard. To survive, Keira must confront the very darkness she has spent years denying.

King enters her life under reckless circumstances, drawn to Keira for reasons that quickly go beyond cruelty or curiosity. He sees what others refuse to acknowledge, the fractured edges, the buried hunger, the potential for something dangerous. As violence escalates and boundaries blur, King becomes both a threat and a protector, bound to Keira through obsession and shared shadows.

With danger closing in from all sides, Keira is forced to decide how far she is willing to go. To win the game, she may have to accept the legacy written into her blood, and embrace the darkness she was born to carry.
