The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (2021)

The Hawthorne Legacy is the sequel to The Inheritance Games and directly precedes The Final Gambit. Avery’s story continues; in this book, she learns that Toby—who is kidnapped and used as a bargaining chip in The Final Gambit—is not, in fact, an unhoused man named “Harry,” but the son of Tobias Hawthorne, the man who bequeathed Avery his fortune and triggered the events of the trilogy.
