Matter of Time (Legacy Series, Book 3)

Blu Foster has spent years building a life designed to keep her past at bay.

After escaping a childhood shaped by addiction and instability, Blu has created something she never thought possible—a successful fashion career, a safe home in coastal California, and a future where her daughter, Jemma, can grow up protected from the chaos Blu once knew.

Then success brings visibility.

After a breakout moment at New York Fashion Week, Blu’s carefully guarded life is exposed—and with it comes a message she never expected to receive. Her mother, long absent and newly sober, wants back in. Not just into Blu’s life, but into Jemma’s.

As the walls Blu has spent years building begin to crack, she finds herself caught between fear and possibility. Chase, the steady presence she’s only just begun to trust, urges her to believe that people can change—and that she deserves more than a life shaped by survival alone.

But opening the door to the past comes with risks Blu knows all too well. To protect her daughter, she may have to walk away from everything she’s built. And to move forward, she may have to face the one thing she’s never allowed herself to consider: forgiveness.

Set against the sunlit calm of La Jolla, Matter of Time is an emotionally rich novel about trust, redemption, and the delicate balance between protecting the ones we love and allowing space for healing. It is the third book in the Legacy Series, a sweeping women’s fiction saga following six women as they navigate love, loss, and the ties that bind them.
