The Edge of Us

Ava Moreau's world revolves around the lens of her camera-capturing moments, chasing light, and dreaming of the day she'll escape her sleepy coastal town. But when a chance photograph pulls her into the shadows of a secret too dangerous to ignore, her carefully curated life begins to unravel.

The subject of her photo is Cade Winters, a brooding newcomer with a haunted past and a knack for keeping people at arm's length. He's everything Ava avoids: secretive, intense, and dangerously compelling. But Cade has secrets that can't stay buried, and when Ava's curiosity threatens to expose them, he issues a chilling warning: stay away, or risk everything.

But Ava isn't one to back down. As she digs deeper, she uncovers the truth about Cade's connection to the Crescent Order-a shadowy network that operates in the darkness, leaving destruction in its wake. At the center of it all is a single clue: an old, tarnished key that once belonged to Cade's brother, Eli. It holds the answers Cade has been searching for, but it also makes them targets.

With danger closing in, Ava and Cade are forced into a fragile partnership. Their chemistry is undeniable, but trust doesn't come easy when the stakes are this high. As the Crescent Order tightens its grip, Ava and Cade must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, loss, and their own tangled emotions. Each revelation draws them closer to the truth-and closer to each other-but the deeper they dive, the more the line between ally and enemy begins to blur.

When the Crescent Order sets its sights on Ava, Cade faces an impossible choice: protect the girl who's reignited his hope or confront the ghosts of his past that could destroy them both. Ava, too, must decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the truth-and whether the cost of knowing is worth risking her heart.
