About this ebook

A diehard romantic looking to start over in a small town.

Dr. Nina Benitez might be an astrophysicist and a scientist down to her bones, but she also believes in true love and happily ever after—and won’t settle for anything less. After a rocky end to her first semester teaching at the University of Montana, she’s looking forward to a new school year and a fresh start in the small town of Rifle Creek. When she meets her roommate’s work partner, a sexy, hard-edged detective, Nina is immediately intrigued. However, it’s soon clear they’re like oil and water. But when she’s confronted by the painful past event she wanted to forget, she faces an even greater danger. A predator is bent on silencing her forever, and Nina’s only hope of survival is the unattainable man who’s captured her heart.

A cynical cop determined to guard his heart.

Tate Baldwin has dedicated his life to serving and protecting, first in the military, and now as a detective in Rifle Creek. Badly burned by his last relationship, he isn’t looking to get involved with anyone, especially a brilliant college professor who seems to have her head in the clouds. Yet even Tate can’t deny the attraction between them that soon grows into something more. And when a secret from her past triggers a lethal threat, Tate will risk everything to stand between her and the monster who wants her dead.

Ratings and reviews

4.25⭐ Lethal Edge the first book in Kaylea Cross's new Rifle Creek series was a genuinely enjoyable story. That although a little slow to start soon picked up the pace, and by the end it honestly had me on the edge of my seat. And with the perfect amount of mystery, romance and humour thanks to an eclectic group of characters, I was easily engaged throughout. And I'm really looking forward to what comes next. Would happily recommend.

Lethal Edge is an awesome romantic suspense by Kaylea Cross. Ms. Cross has provided readers with a well-written book populated with an outstanding array of characters. Nina is an astrophysicist and scientist and is teaching at the University of Montana while living in Rifle Creek. Tate is a detective in Rifle Creek and not interested in a relationship. Tate and Nina's story is packed with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book from cover to cover and look forward to my next book by Kaylea Cross. Lethal Edge is book 1 of the Rifle Creek Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

This was a great read! A little slow in the beginning with some repetitive pages, but eventually picked up pace. I love that the female protagonist is Hispanic! It's so refreshing from all the twenty-something white girls 99% of books are about. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and had amazing characters. It's dark and suspenseful while keeping the romance in the forefront. Worth the read!
