ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 1, 2021

Horsepower and green thumbs meets justice and flip-flops.

I’m a late bloomer.
A geek, an introvert, an enigma, and a watchdog.

My name is Paco.
I’m determined enough to bide my time, yet too clever to pass up on opportunity.

I’m a steadfast rebel.
An outcast, a defender, a hothead, and an eccentric.

My name is Mel.
I’m resolute enough to carve my own way, but not too blind to see a better path.

We are established loners—each limited by the boundaries we set—but when a young boy’s life hangs in the balance, we discover we have more in common than we thought.

REVIEW:EDGE OF REALITY is the fifth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult ARROW’S EDGE MC erotic, MC, romance series. This is fifty year old, Arrow’s Edge MC member Nathan ‘Paco’ Philips, and forty-eight year old, attorney Melanie ‘Mel’ Morgan’s story line. EDGE OF REALITY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Paco and Mel) EDGE OF REALITY follows the building romance and relationship between fifty year old, Arrow’s Edge MC member Nathan ‘Paco’ Philips, and forty-eight year old, attorney Melanie ‘Mel’ Morgan. Nathan ‘Paco’ Philips has lusted after the MC’s attorney for as long as he can remember. Mel Morgan wants nothing to do with our story line hero but a difficult case finds Mel and her twenty-seven year old, daughter Lindsey on the receiving end of more than one threat, including the destruction of their office, and the fire bombing of Mel’s car. Refusing to leave our heroine alone, Paco declares himself protector of Mel Morgan bringing the MC along for the ride but when a small, six year old child is found frightened and alone, Paco and Mel become guardians to the little boy Mason, guardians that, once again, find themselves a target. What ensues is the slow building romance and relationship between Paco and Mel, and the potential fall-out as desperation and vengeance threaten to destroy them all.

The relationship between Mel and Paco is an unrequited love/ older couple relationship in which Paco has fallen for a stubborn woman who refuses to give him a chance. Having worked with the Arrow’s Edge MC, Mel struggled with the possibility of illegal activities, although the Arrow’s Edge MC no longer travelled that road. Spending most of her time with our story line hero, Mel begins to drop her defences, eventually falling for the man who promised to save her with his life. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting character including Mel’s daughter Lindsey, six year old Mason, Lisa and Brick (Edge of Tomorrow) MC president Ouray and his wife FBI Agent Luna, Tse and Sophia (Edge of Fear); numerous club members MC members Wapi, Kaga and Lea, Trunk, Paco, Honon, and law enforcement Detective Ramirez, Detective Yelinek, FBI SAC Agent Damian Gomez. The requisite evil has many faces.

EDGE OF REALITY is a story of power, abuse and control, betrayal and vengeance, friendships, relationships and family. The premise is gritty and honest; the romance is spicy and moving; the characters are sassy, spirited, and determined.
