He was sent to catch her—now they're running for their lives... and into each other’s arms.
Private investigator Jack Kent is used to hunting white-collar criminals—and he always gets his man. But this time, it’s a woman: Dr. Morgan Mackenzie, a brilliant cellular kineticist whose next thrilling discovery is... him.
Morgan’s fled from her ex-employer, armed with the formula for a revolutionary but deadly diet drug—and a bounty on her head. A night of passion with a rugged stranger seems like the perfect escape… until she learns the truth. Her sexy cowboy isn’t a hero. He’s the hunter sent to bring her in.
But nothing is what it seems.
When Jack realizes Morgan isn’t the thief—she’s the target—everything changes. Thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse, Jack and Morgan must outwit a ruthless corporation willing to kill to protect its secrets.
With assassins closing in and time running out, Jack and Morgan will have to risk everything—not just to expose the truth, but to save each other while on the run.
Can they stop a killer and escape with their lives... or will their hearts become collateral damage?
Edge of Escape is a gripping suspense of dangerous secrets, irresistible chemistry, and high-stakes betrayal.
