About the Book

Book: Hidden Legacy (An H & G Mystery Book 2)

Author: Christina Rost

Release Date: August 5, 2025

Genre: Romantic Mystery/Suspense

When Emersyn Zucker meets Lucas Bennett, it’s love at first sight. But both harbor family secrets, and their blossoming romance soon gets tangled in a web of deception.

After uncovering her great-grandfather’s connection to a clandestine society known as H & G, Emersyn begins to question everything she’s ever known. Should she embrace the society or distance herself from her family ties and renounce her great-grandfather’s legacy? And if she joins H & G, how would Lucas react to her secret double life?

The mysterious disappearance of a century-old Bible forces Emersyn to choose where her true loyalties lie, because if the ancient text falls into the wrong hands, the consequences could be deadly.

Thrust into the treacherous world of treasure hunting, Emersyn and Lucas embark on a perilous journey where secrets abound—and trust is a luxury Emersyn can’t afford.

More from Christina

Hidden Legacy was birthed from a story I read about a woman living in North Korea who buried her Bible in her garden. In the dead of night, when her family slept, she would carefully dig it up, brush off the soil, and read by the faint glow of moonlight—knowing discovery could mean imprisonment, torture, or death for her entire household.

Her courage reminds me that God’s Word is not just comforting; in places like North Korea, it is life itself.

This harrowing story, and others like the North Korean believers, sheds light on how often I take for granted the freedom I enjoy. Here in my home, multiple Bibles rest openly on shelves—different translations, study editions, even large-print versions I can read without fear. I flip through them casually during quiet times and discuss them freely with family and friends. Yet for our brothers and sisters in North Korea, a single page of Scripture is a priceless treasure worth risking everything for.

My deepest hope is that Hidden Legacy would stir readers to learn more about our brothers and sisters in Christ living in hostile locations. Just like 1 Corinthians 12 states, we are all part of one body: “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.” (1 Corinthians 12:26 ESV)

But not only to learn about their plight — I hope it also moves us to pray.

Pray fervently for Bibles to reach believers through every possible channel in these hostile regions. Pray for God to protect and strengthen the underground church.

And never forget, Love is a Legacy.

Interview with the Author

• What does the first part of your writing process look like?

Daydreaming, then dialogue.  I usually open my first scene of the story in my mind with some dialogue and get a feel for the character’s personality.

• What part of your writing process would surprise readers?

I think maybe that I don’t write in a straight line. I’ll often pen the scene that comes naturally to me. If that’s the epic finale or the first kiss, I’ll do that. I can always go back and rework.  I tend to need to move chapters around before I have a completed first draft.

• Do you write with a pen and paper first, some by hand and some electronically, or all electronically?

I have cheap, 50 cent notebooks I use often. I scribble a lot. I keep them in my purse or the car. I take notes for research, like eye color, setting, or maybe a fantastic smell or food that can be placed in the story. However, I write all my actual scenes on my laptop.

• How long does it typically take you to finish a book?

I’d like at least a year. I tend to do what I call “play in the sandbox”. I enjoy working out the characters personality quirks, thinking about their daily life, and imagining what side characters I may need. I don’t really like to be on a deadline when I write, but if I didn’t have a deadline, I might play too much and not get anything done!

• What is the biggest thing you hope readers take away from this book?

I hope readers are urged to learn more about our Christian brothers and sisters in hostile regions and begin to pray for them.
