The Edge of His Touch (en Inglés) - Jake Markolt

She fell for a stranger with blood on his hands and now they're both running for their lives.

When Mara opens her door to a wounded stranger on a rain-soaked night, she knows it's a mistake. But something in his silence dangerous, guarded, and strangely honest pulls her into a world she never asked to enter. Before dawn, one reckless choice binds her fate to his, and the life she knew vanishes behind a trail of blood and bullets.

Adrian Vale is a man built by violence, shaped by a criminal network that taught him how to survive but never how to escape. Now, with a stolen ledger that could destroy powerful men and a brother who will burn the city to reclaim it, Adrian is running out of time and out of places to hide. He never meant to drag Mara into the chaos. But she stayed. And that changes everything.

Together, they race through back alleys and abandoned safe houses, hunted by mercenaries, corrupt officials, and ghosts from Adrian's blood-soaked past. With each mile, the danger tightens and so does the fragile, undeniable bond between them. She sees the monster he was trained to be. She also sees the man fighting not to become it. And as betrayal closes in from all sides, Mara must decide: can love forged in violence survive the reckoning that's coming?

Because the truth about Adrian is worse than she imagined. And the choice she makes next could cost them both everything.

The Edge of His Touch is a pulse-pounding romantic thriller about survival, redemption, and the dangerous intimacy that blooms when two people refuse to let go even when staying together might destroy them. Perfect for readers who crave morally complex heroes, fierce heroines, and love stories born not in safety, but in the fire of impossible choices.
