One moment of recklessness will change their worlds
Smart. Responsible. That's seventeen-year-old Breanna's role in her large family, and heaven forbid she put a toe out of line. Until one night of shockingly un-Breanna-like behavior puts her into a vicious cyberbully's line of fire—and brings fellow senior Thomas "Razor" Turner into her life.
Razor lives for the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, and good girls like Breanna just don't belong. But when he learns she's being blackmailed over a compromising picture of the two of them—a picture that turns one unexpected and beautiful moment into ugliness—he knows it's time to step outside the rules.
And so they make a pact: he'll help her track down her blackmailer, and in return she'll help him seek answers to the mystery that's haunted him—one that not even his club brothers have been willing to discuss. But the more time they spend together, the more their feelings grow. And suddenly they're both walking the edge of discovering who they really are, what they want, and where they're going from here.
Walk the Edge is available for purchase:

Excerpt
“I’m here about your mother.” The asshole knows he has me
when my eyes snap to his.
“She’s
dead.” Like the other times I say the words, a part of me dies along with her.
This
guy has green eyes and they soften like he’s apologetic. “I know. I’m sorry.
I’ve received some new evidence that may help us discover what caused her
death.”
Anger
curls within my muscles and my jaw twitches. This overwhelming sense of
insanity is what I fight daily. For years, I’ve heard the whispers from the
gossips in town, felt the stares of the kids in class, and I’ve sensed the pity
of the men in the Reign of Terror I claim as brothers. It’s all accumulated to
a black, hissing doubt in my soul.
Suicide.
It’s
what everyone in town says happened. It’s in every hushed conversation people
have the moment I turn my back. It’s not just from the people I couldn’t give
two shits about, but the people who I consider family.
I shove
away those thoughts and focus on what my father and the club have told me—what
I have chosen to believe. “My mother’s death was an accident.”
He’s
shaking his head and I’m fresh out of patience. I’m not doing this. Not with
him. Not with anyone. “I’m not interested.”
I push
off the railing and I did out the keys to my motorcycle as I bound down the
steps. The detective’s behind me. He has a slow steady stride and it irritates
me that he follows across the yard and doesn’t stop coming as I swing my leg
over my bike.
“What
if I told you I don’t think it was an accident,” he says.
Odds
are it wasn’t. Odds are every whispered taunt in my direction is true. That my
father and the club drove Mom crazy, and I wasn’t enough of a reason for her to
choose life.
To
drown him out, I start the engine. This guy must be as suicidal as people say
Mom was because he eases in front of my bike assuming I won’t run him down.
“Thomas,”
he says.
I twist
the handle to rev the engine in warning. He raises his chin like he’s finally
pissed and his eyes narrow on me. “Razor.”
I let
the bike idle. If he’s going to respect me by using my road name, I’ll respect
him for a few seconds. “Leave me the fuck alone.”
Damn if
the man doesn’t possess balls the size of Montana. He steps closer to me and
drops a bomb. “I have reason to believe your mom was murdered.”
