The Edge

BRIANNA CROSS HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED CONTROL COULD KEEP THE DAMAGE CONTAINED.

Martin Vale has spent years studying Brianna, Phoenix, and everyone close enough to be used against them. Now he is exposing the choices they thought were buried-one file, one recording, and one carefully arranged confrontation at a time.

Claire learns that Brianna secretly destroyed a career opportunity to keep her at Crosswell. Phoenix is forced to face the damage left by his past with Leah. And Brianna discovers that Martin's real weapon is not stolen evidence, but his ability to predict exactly what each of them will do when control begins to slip.

As Crosswell's secrets move closer to public exposure, Brianna must work beside the police, confront the people she has manipulated, and decide whether Phoenix is someone she can trust-or simply another man who has learned how to survive her.

Martin has built the final trap around every weakness they possess.

To escape it, Brianna will have to do the one thing she has resisted from the beginning: stop controlling the truth long enough to face it.
