A forgotten letter. A developer's ultimatum. A family of foxes with nowhere left to go.

November has brought frost to Briar Hollow, and for Rowan Hale, it has finally brought a sense of home. But the peace is shattered when a new threat looms on the edge of the preserve: the historic Whitmore foundation, a ruin reclaimed by nature, has been sold.

Garrett Holdings plans to bulldoze the site to build a luxury model home. But the foundation isn't empty. It's the last refuge for a family of red foxes displaced by the town's rapid expansion.

Teaming up with Dr. Anika Patel and the local historical society, Rowan unearths a century-old secret hidden in the state archives-a letter from 1905 that could change everything. But with the excavators scheduled to arrive in days, history might not be enough to stop progress.

Can Rowan and her allies prove that some legacies are worth more than the ground they stand on?

The Briar Hollow Legacy is the third book in the Briar Hollow cozy mystery series. It features a slow-burn F/F romance, a determined three-legged dog, and a community that fights for its wild places.
