Edge of Control by Tonya Burrows

EVELYN
I thought I’d finally found peace.
A small town. A new name. A quiet life for my daughter and me.
But lately, the town feels… off. Neighbors I barely know greet me like an old friend, then say the exact same words the next day. Conversations loop, rehearsed and hollow. And sometimes… I swear I hear thoughts that aren’t my own.
The past I ran from is coming.
And there’s only one person I can call—
The man who saved us once.
The man who took my heart with him when he walked away.
The man I swore I’d never need again.

TRENT
All I know how to be is a shield. A protector. A man who lives in the shadows so others can stay safe in the light. And for years, that was enough…
But then Evelyn Phillips and her little girl broke through my defenses.
I thought giving them a new life would be enough. Thought walking away was the best thing I could do for them.
I was wrong.
When her ex resurfaces, he doesn’t just want revenge—he wants control. And he’s using the most dangerous tech Edge Ops has ever faced to get it.
I’ll burn every bridge and break every law to protect them.
Because she’s not just my mission.
She’s the one thing in this world I can’t lose.
Live on the edge. Love at your own risk.
