After a devastating accident and years lost to addiction, Alex Clark returns to the family estate and the life he thought he'd left behind. Bound by the terms of his father's will and haunted by the tragic death of his girlfriend, Alex struggles to reclaim not just his medical career, but his sense of self.
Madison Hale, the family lawyer with quiet strength and a stake in his recovery, watches over him with cautious support-and a guarded heart still nursing the wounds of their complicated past. As Alex fights to prove himself in a world that expects him to fail, the fragile boundaries between them begin to blur.
In a house full of secrets, sibling tensions, and buried pain, two broken souls find solace in each other's company, navigating the delicate path between forgiveness, trust, and the hope of something more.

Knife's Edge
With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life. Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters -- Charlotte and Bailey -- who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. But things all changed when their father got sent to prison. Eight new social workers and five foster families later, the girls finally found their home. Now, at eighteen, Jade is counting down the days until her exams are over, excited to spend a stress-free summer with her boyfriend, her two best friends, and her forever family. Unfortunately, things don't always go to plan -- not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman brothers -- a family that fits so well into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid -- Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape. And when she catches the eye of Lucas Coleman, the eldest of the brothers, it's only a matter of time before she falls. Only one question remains: Which way will she land?
