Edge of Secrets by Shannon McKenna

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men…

I’m barely holding it together since I lost my foster mother, Lucia, in a brutal home invasion. The killer is still on the loose, convinced that my sisters and I know something crucial about Lucia’s mysterious past.
On top of that, I’m barely making ends meet as a grad student in New York City, waiting tables and looking over my shoulder. The only bright spot in my day is when I serve lunch to Duncan Burke, a big, grim-faced guy in a suit. He barely notices me—until he does. And after one passionate encounter, suddenly he’s making me a shocking proposition…
It’s outrageous. But I’d rather dream about it than worry about the disasters in my life…

It’s a no-brainer…
Protect the luscious Nell D’Onofrio from the killer stalking her. Check. Pleasure her beyond her wildest dreams in the safety of my luxury condo, all night, every night. Check. Damn, what’s not to like about that scenario?
As an ex-NSA agent and a cybersecurity expert, I deal in stone cold facts. I don’t get why Nell is getting all wound up about what is clearly a win/win situation for everyone. She has problems? I’ll solve them. I’ll put every part of myself, body and soul, to the task.
But nothing is ever clear or simple with Nell. She who won’t take orders. She drives me wild, makes me lose my cool. The killer thinks Nell has info he needs, and he’ll kill for it.
Not on my watch. No one touches her…

Edge of Secrets, Book Two, is the second book in the Edge Trilogy. Edge of Whispers, Book One, is Nancy’s story, and Edge of Ruin, Book Three, Vivi’s story, concludes the trilogy. The three stories form a single overarching action-adventure story, but each couple gets their own HEA at the end of each book!

Parts of these stories have already appeared in a previously published book, Tasting Fear.
