Edge of Ruin

One step ahead of mayhem...Ever since my foster mom Lucia’s senseless murder, my sisters and I are scrambling to solve this deadly mystery before it kills us. But Lucia’s killer is still after us, and with both my sisters now blissfully paired up with their protective new boyfriends, I’m the obvious soft target.So they’re sending me off to hide on a flower farm in a primeval Oregon forest. I’ve been instructed to lay low, take it easy, work on my sculptures while I am babysat by an old army buddy of my sister Nell’s new lover. Some guy named Jack who has a large barn/studio to rent, and who is evidently not going to bug me, or interfere with me at all, but is also a real badass who can protect me from a killer. Right. Jack is an Army guy, and I famously don’t take orders well. What could possibly go wrong?They should have warned me that Jack was also tall, hot, hard-bodied, and judgmental as hell. He thinks I’m frivolous, helpless fluff, but to my intense shame, that doesn’t stop my heart from racing, or my toes from tightening.She’s more trouble than I bargained for...I like to keep things simple and solitary in my mountain hideaway, but I owe my long-time buddy Duncan my life. I couldn’t say no when he told me that his fiancée’s little sister needed looking after. I’m down for some body-guarding, as long as the woman collaborates. But this woman has ideas of her own, and she’s not shy about sharing them.I didn’t sign up getting embroiled in an international ring of cutthroat art thieves, either. And getting knocked on my ass by the gorgeous, strong-willed, free-spirited Vivi D’Onofrio doesn’t help.Keeping that woman safe quickly becomes my top priority, but as the heat kicks up between us, the danger stalking her is quickly gaining ground...Edge of Ruin, Book Three concludes the Edge Trilogy. Edge of Whispers, Book One, is Nancy’s story, and Edge of Secrets, Book Two, is Nell’s story. The three books form a single overarching action-adventure story, but each couple gets their own HEA at the end!Parts of these stories have appeared in a previously published book, Tasting Fear.
