Pick up WALK THE EDGE today!
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.
EXCERPT:
“This is going to be the best night of our lives,” announces
Reagan. Addison sits at the desk in front of me and Reagan’s to the left of
Addison.
I check
the clock on the wall over our English teacher’s desk. In exactly two minutes,
the bell will ring and the first day of my senior year will begin. It’s not
only the first day of school, but also the first Friday of the school year.
Three
years ago, Addison, Reagan, and I promised we’d do something crazy on the first
Friday of our senior year. After notifying High Grove that I declined their
scholarship, crazy is exactly what I need. “Are you sure your parents aren’t
going to check on us?”
“Trust
me, everything will be golden.” Reagan uses the camera on her phone to fix
stray pieces of her dirty blond hair. She curled it this morning and much to
her displeasure the curls are falling out. “Has Cass started following you yet?
I told her you created a Bragger account.”
I sigh
and Addison scowls. She’s less than thrilled with my lack of excitement. I
currently have twenty-five followers. It’s better than none, but not nearly
reaching Addison and Reagan’s totals. Not sure how this whole social media thing
is supposed to be fun. It’s like being back in elementary school and waiting to
be picked for kickball.
“To
gain followers you must post something.” Addison has this teacher to pupil
reprimand going on, and it’s scary on her. “Don’t make me start posting for
you, brat. You’re the one that wanted to join the world. Reagan and I are
trying to catch you up on how to participate in the land of the living.”
“Because
everyone will love reading how I was up doing dishes until midnight,” I say.
“Tell
them you were doing it naked and half the boys in school will follow you.”
Reagan tosses me a sly smirk and I laugh. She’s always saying things that push
the envelope. “Tell them you’ll post the picture if you reach five hundred
followers. Watch your stats climb, girl.”
“That
would be interesting.” A new voice joins the conversation.
I see
the jeans first. Actually I see a rip in the jeans, and that rip is an inch
above the knee, and I’m staring at a very muscular male thigh. I enter this
weird zone, because there’s this sinking feeling of where this is heading, and
ominous sirens are sounding off.
It’s
like being stuck in slow motion as I glance up. My heart stops. Starts. And
when it starts again, I find I can’t breathe. Golden hair that’s a little long
on top. Light blue eyes drinking me in. All I see is a whole lot of
gorgeous…and dangerous.
It’s
Thomas freaking Turner. He wears the same leather vest that he had on the other
night, and underneath it is a black T-shirt with the name of an old-school
metal band. My eyes automatically scan his patches and I wonder which one is
the warning that he carries a gun.
His
fingers skim my desk as he strides past. There are small cuts on his knuckles,
and the skin on his hands look rough—like him. For some reason, I find that
attractive. It reminds me of him hunched in front of his bike yesterday as he
was repairing his machine. The steady way he moved. The serious set of his
face. The way the muscles in his arms flexed as he worked.
“Hello,
Breana.” Thomas’s voice is deep, smooth and feels like a caress along my skin.
