These Jagged Edges - by Tuesday James (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Evie Taylor knows how to survive. She ran with nothing but a bag of clothes, stolen cash, and the kind of scars that don't fade. Now, six years later, she's built a life in Thunder Ridge-raising her twin boys, slinging coffee at the local diner, and keeping her past buried where it belongs. But when Maddox Wilder storms into her orbit, all jagged edges and brooding stares, she realizes some ghosts don't stay dead.

Maddox doesn't do attachments. The world took too much from him, and he's learned that anger is easier to hold onto than hope. But Evie? She's fire wrapped in thorns, daring him to get close even as she keeps him at arm's length. He sees the fear she tries to hide, the way she double-checks locks and flinches at shadows. And when her past comes clawing its way back, Maddox finds himself ready to burn the world down to keep her safe.

But Evie isn't some damsel waiting to be saved. She's done running, and if the devil wants her, he better be ready to bleed.

These Jagged Edges is a raw, gritty romance about survival, redemption, and the kind of love that doesn't just heal-it wrecks you first.
