ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 9, 2020
Road rash and Jack meets handcuffs and street smarts.
I am a wandering disaster.
A hedonist, a lover, a son, and a rebel.
My name is Yuma.
I’m sober enough to see the need for redemption, but too blind to realize I already found it.
I am an independent seeker.
An overachiever, a friend, a misfit, and a cop.
My name is Lissie.
I’m determined enough to find acceptance, but too stubborn to see all I need is my own.
We shouldn’t get involved—all the odds are against us—but when bodies turn up on common ground and lines between duty and purpose get blurred, our future becomes clear.

REVIEW: EDGE OF DARKNESS is the second instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult ARROW’S EDGE MC erotic, MC, romance series focusing on the members of the Arrow’s Edge MC. This is forty-year old, MC member James ‘Yuma’ Wells, and thirty-seven year old, detective Elizabeth ‘Lissie’ Bucco’s story line. EDGE OF DARKNESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion where Yuma’s story begins.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Yuma and Lissie) EDGE OF DARKNESS follows the building relationship between forty-year old, MC member James ‘Yuma’ Wells, and thirty-seven year old, detective Elizabeth ‘Lissie’ Bucco. Elizabeth Bucco is the newest member of the Durango.New Mexico Police Department but she is no newbie to the world of law enforcement but finds herself struggling with her place in the world when she was forced to resign from her last department. A new apartment with a landlord that draws her like a moth to a flame, Lissie jumps head first when several bodies are discovered buried at a local construction site. James Wells aka Yuma battles between head and heart knowing his new tenant is with the local police but our hero knows the Arrow’s Edge MC is more about looking after the most vulnerable than trampling on the wrong side of the law but Lissie’s latest assignment comes full circle affecting the Arrow’s Edge MC, and in this Yuma is about to discover he lost his heart to woman caught in the middle of the battle. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Yuma and Lissie, and the potential fall-out as secrets, loss, and a mutual struggle threaten their tentative hold on love.
James Wells aka Yuma is a recovering alcoholic and his day to day struggle is a battle between right and wrong but meeting his new tenant at the local AA meeting gives them both something in common, a commonality of which James was hoping to forget. Lissie Bucco’s latest assignment brings her face to face with the reality of life and death, but death has always forced Lissie to look away until a discovery brings the reality to her front door.
The relationship between James and Lissie is one of immediate attraction; a palpable sexual attraction wherein James is hoping to become a better man but the loss of someone close sends James spiralling pushing our heroine away at a time when he needs her the most. James is broken and damaged forty year old man, who is about to fall in love with a woman he believes he does not deserve. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large colorful and energetic cast of secondary and supporting characters including Trunk Rae & Jaimie (Edge of Reason #1), Ouray and Luna, and their son Ahiga, MC members Wapi, Kaga, Tse; Yuma’s father Nosh; Lisa, and her foster kids Ezrah and Kiara; as well as several detectives and law enforcement at the DPD.
EDGE OF DARKNESS is a story of family and friendships; of betrayal and vengeance; of life, loss, relationships and love. The premise is engaging, gritty and real; the romance is seductive and emotional; the characters are captivating, sensitive and edgy. EDGE OF DARKNESS is a passionate and intense story
