From New York Times best-selling author Aleatha Romig comes a stand-alone new-adult, romantic thriller where love is new, and monsters lurk in expensive suits behind million-dollar smiles.
Woodland Cliffs Country Club is the crown jewel of the small Monterey-area seaside town. It’s comfortable stomping grounds for those born to money and opportunity. With the club’s esteemed members from near and far, it’s not unusual to spot celebrities, business tycoons, or those with even more power.
It isn’t the glamour or intrigue that attracts Rae Watson to seek a summer job at the Cliffs. As a struggling college student, she simply wants to earn money for her senior year at the university and concentrate on classes.
When Rae’s friend helps secure her summer employment at the Cliffs, Rae willingly accepts. She quickly learns there’s more to the Cliffs, particularly the hidden world of those the country club employs.
The lives of the elite and those who serve them are worlds apart.
What will that mean for Rae and the handsome blue-eyed college student who makes her swoon?
Will she discover the secrets purged from the high cliffs, waiting to be found on the rocky shores, or will she find herself on the edge?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ON THE EDGE drew me in from the first pages, and from then on, I couldn’t stop reading. Once again, I can affirm I've been Aleatha'd.
"The edge was meant to be breached."
This suspenseful read had me on the edge of my seat all along. It felt like watching a tragedy happen in slow motion. The many characters, many of them antipathic, and some of them very touching, had me second-guessing everything I was reading, while the incredible atmosphere utterly added to this strange feeling. The suspicion that never left me.
"Fear was such an enticing emotion. It crackled like lightning in their eyes, emanated in a sweet scent from their pores, and propelled their actions."
Sometimes, when the author is really good, you just need to trust your emotions and enjoy the ride, which I did and I felt amazing. Only at the last minute was I able to breathe again, as the tension relieved in my body.
Well done, Mrs. Romig!
