The Truth Lies at the Edge

Lexi Archer is barely keeping her head above water. Two jobs. Endless bills. A one-room apartment in a neighborhood she’d rather forget—that’s her reality.

And love? That’s a luxury she’s never been able to afford. Until Collin W. Radcliff walks in.

Billionaire. Charmer. Untouchable. A man who could have anyone and inexplicably chooses her.

Overnight, Lexi is swept into a world of privilege, adrenaline-fueled escapes, and closed-door conversations she’s never meant to hear.

It should be a dream come true. So why does it feel like she’s disappearing?

Is she paranoid for questioning a man like Collin? Or is she right to wonder if safety and security are just another kind of cage? The higher she rises, the more the shadows close in. Whispers trail her. Threats appear where only Collin should have access. And beneath every compliment, every promise lurks one chilling thought: Is she cherished, or is she replacing the woman he just let go?

Before she can find the answer, Collin whisks her away on the adventure of a lifetime.

Everything is about to change. Because the truth isn’t waiting in the light, it’s waiting at the edge.
