The edge of us

Jamie McGuire

Book - 2019

Widowed before thirty, Naomi Abrams has been through a lot. Her husband Matt sacrificed his life to save his Marine brothers. Daugher of the US modern militia's founder, Naomi joins the Marines in Matt's place, too-ready to anything to help protect his team - men who are like brothers to her now. Retiring together to the town of Colorado Springs, they've assembled to take on the job of security at the top-secret military base, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. As they struggle to adjust to their civilian lives, they also discover new dangers. Zeke Lund has been alone since being bumped out of the foster system at age eighteen, and now his rag-tag family consists of his hotshot brothers and sisters. Shattered by his first love, Z...eke never planned to fall for someone again, especially not during fire season in the Colorado mountains, but Naomi is unlike anyone he's ever met. She's strong, stubborn, and takes exactly zero crap from anyone. At the top of a freezing canyon, he wonders if he should lover her enough to let her go or let her fight with him - with the real possibility of burying another man she loves. more
