The Edge of Us: A High-Stakes NYC Romance, (Paperback)

<p><br><b>Are you ready to fall?</b></p><p>Emma Davis has one rule: <b>control the variables</b>. By day, she's an architectural engineering prodigy drowning in student loans and her mother's crushing medical debt. By night, she's "Ghost," an anonymous urban explorer who scales NYC's most dangerous, historic buildings to feel a sense of control her real life lacks. Unpredictability leads to ruin. Love is a variable she simply can't afford.</p><p>Ryan Smith is the human embodiment of chaos. An internationally infamous daredevil and internet sensation, he uses adrenaline to mask a deep, hollow emptiness. He's in New York City for his magnum opus-an illegal ascent of the Empire State Building funded by a shadowy billionaire sponsor. But to bypass the post-9/11 security, he needs a ghost.</p><p>When Ryan tracks Emma down to her freezing Brooklyn apartment, he makes an offer she can't refuse: a quarter of a million dollars for her blueprints. The money would instantly save her mother's life. The catch? The logistics require absolute secrecy.</p><p>Forced into proximity in a cramped 400-square-foot apartment, the ice-cold, rigid architect and the charismatic, reckless daredevil clash immediately. Their banter is razor-sharp. Their physical tension is unbearable.</p><p>But as the July 1st climb approaches, the heart-stopping physical stakes blur the lines between rivals and allies. Ryan discovers the fiercely protective heart beneath Emma's sarcastic armor. And Emma realizes the fearless stuntman is actually terrified of being left alone on the ground.</p><p>With the entire city watching, and a sixty-mile-per-hour wind shear threatening to tear them off the 1,400-foot spire, they will both have to decide if surviving is the same as living.</p><p><i>Because the bravest thing a person can do isn't jumping off a ledge. It's trusting someone enough to let them catch you.</i></p><p><b>The Edge of Us is a standalone contemporary New Adult romance featuring elite banter, breathless high-stakes action, and an unforgettable, swoon-worthy climax. Perfect for fans of <i>grumpy-sunshine</i>, <i>he-falls-first</i>, and <i>forced proximity</i> tropes!</b></p>
