ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 10, 2019

Every great dream begins with a dreamer…

Sebastian Shark is on the verge of realizing his dream. The Edge—the most luxurious Los Angeles skyscraper ever conceived—will be his legacy, an icon to dominate LA’s skyline just as Shark dominates its boardrooms.

Self-made businesswoman Abbigail Gibson is on a trajectory toward massive success, but to get there, she must navigate the egos of her demanding clients—particularly the driven and obstinate Shark, who possesses the special talent of aggravating and arousing her within the same breath.

They are a collision of chemistry, but is their potent attraction toward each other worth losing sight of their ultimate goals? Taking a bite of passion has never carried more risk—or promised sweeter reward.

Fate has other ideas, however, as Sebastian is targeted by unknown enemies and Abbi is caught in the fray. Will the danger draw them closer or drive them apart?

REVIEW:SHARK’S EDGE is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult, SHARK’S erotic, romantic suspense series co-authored by Angel Payne and Victoria Blue focusing on billionaire real-estate developer Sebastian Shark, and twenty-two year old, caterer Abbigail ‘Abbi’ Gibson.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sebastian and Abbi) SHARK’S EDGE follows the building relationship between billionaire real-estate developer Sebastian Shark, and caterer Abbigail ‘Abbi’ Gibson. Sebastian Shark is working on the biggest deal of his life but finds himself distracted by professional caterer Abbigail ‘Abbi’ Gibson, a woman who stirs something deep within our story line hero. A dominant by nature who doesn’t do relationship preferring to pay for the use of a woman’s body, Sebastian makes Abbi an offer she struggles to refuse…but not all is well in Sebastian Shark’s well-ordered world when he becomes the target of someone desperate to destroy his business and his life. What ensues is the building but petulant and caustic relationship between Abbi and Sebastian, and the potential fall-out as there may be more than one player determined to take down Sebastian Shark.

Sebastian Shark knows a thing or two about dominating both in and out the boardroom. From business to pleasure, Sebastian is all about sealing the deal using contracts, NDAs and closed door tactics but for months Sebastian has battled his attraction to business woman and caterer Abbi Gibson, a woman who has no place in Sebastian’s world of power and control. Abbi Gibson finds herself attracted to a man who is way out of her league but Sebastian is desperate to keep Abbi under his control realizing there is more than one man hoping to make Abbi his own.

The relationship between Abbi and Sebastian is one of mutual attraction but Sebastian currently holds all of the power in their ‘non-relationship’. Sebastian doesn’t do romance or love but battles between head and heart as it pertains to his feelings about our story line heroine. When more than one man shows interest in our story line heroine, Sebastian struggles to keep himself under control.The $ex scenes are erotic and intense but I have issues with the use of a certain four-letter word in my ‘romance’ story lines.

We are introduced to Sebastian’s PA Terryn; his best friend Grant Twombley; Abbi’s business partner Rio, and businessman Viktor Blake. Grant and Rio’s story commences with Grant’s Heat, Shark’s #4 beginning in May 2020.

SHARK’S EDGE introduces the players and characters who will play pivotal roles in both Sebastian and Abbi’s life. Someone is determined to destroy Sebastian Shark using any means possible including murder and blackmail, one body at a time. The premise is dramatic, engaging, fast paced and captivating; the characters are colorful, energetic and seductive; the romance (or non-romance) is steamy and provocative. Payne and Blue reveal just enough clues to start building the suspense between Sebastian Shark and those trying to take him down. SHARK’S EDGE ends on a cliff-hanger, you have been warned.
