ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 10, 2026
The last thing I expected when I found the trespasser bathing in my river was for it to be her…
Daisy Adair has always been my dream girl. From when we were best friends in high school to finding her now.
A gorgeous mother who shows up on my property with three kids in tow.
But I became a recluse for a reason.
The life I chose is full of wickedness and peril. The last thing I need is the object of my every fantasy invading my space and risking her life because of me.
Only when she tells me she’s on the run from her ex, I promise to do anything to keep them safe, even marry her to protect her kids.
That single kiss at the altar rips through every barrier, our passion unleashed.
Now, living under the same roof blurs the lines I’ve drawn.
Each glance of her down the hall and I am splintering.
Each brush of her hand and I am brought to my knees.
Our future—bright, hopeful, and almost within reach—hovers on the edge of becoming real…
Until we discover the threat surrounding her is grimmer than either of us imagined.
Now I’m fighting to save her and her children before our second chance at forever is burned to the ground…

REVIEW: Moonlit Ridge is forever going to hold a special place in my heart. This series ends with the final installment, On the Brink of Bliss, Cash’s story. While all of these books are intense and heartbreaking, Cash’s story is the most…well of everything. Each book is a standalone in an interconnected world, but truly they need to be read in order, there is far too much backstory that would be missed out on. Please check your trigger warnings before reading.
Cash and Daisy share a history together, a history that Cash tries (and fails) to forget. They met when they were young, found each other in high-school, but when you truly connect with someone, age is just a number. Torn apart by tragedy, Cash turns into himself, vowing to never let another innocent die in vain. Daisy tries to make the best of her life, even if it means moving on from Cash, even if it means keeping him alive in her mind when he isn’t there for her. Fast forward, Cash is a member of Sovereign Santium, a secret group that helps women and children when they need a way out from a world that would cause them harm. He and his brothers protect those that need it. Each of his brothers have found love, a woman, a family to call their own, Cash however is a grumpy recluse that likes to spend his time alone in his cabin. He loves his brothers and the family that have made, but Cash holds demons inside him that hold him back from life. After returning home one night however, Cash finds something on his land that changes his life forever.
Daisy is now a single mother on the run from her ex-husband hell bent on taking her out. She thought she would be safe, that she did the right thing, but all that matters now is that her children are safe. With no family, and no one else to go to, Daisy tracts down the one person who ever truly made her feel safe. Cash. Once she finds him, all she has to do is get him to agree to fake marry her, to keep her children safe, to love them. She just wasn’t expecting Cash to actually agree to her demand. Now that he has, things are different between them and Daisy isn’t sure she can go back to how things used to be.
Cash and Daisy broke my heart, then healed it all in one amazing book. The depth of their relationship together, how they started, how they loved each other, then lost each other, only to find each other again, but held back by fear and guilt. This book was everything. Daisy and her kids act as a bridge to bring Cash out of the self imposed hell island he placed himself on years ago. And Cash does what he does best, he protects. He acts as a shield to Daisy and her children, he keeps them safe, he cares for them, he loves them. The flash-backs from their early years are really meaningful, and I really enjoyed reading them, but my favorite moments for sure are the moments with Cash and the kids. He’s a stark, grumpy guy, but with those kids, he is soft and vulnerable, it rounds out his giant personality well. Of course with all of this author’s books there is spice, and boy oh boy…Cash has another level to him in this category. The spice was a great addition to the book, but Daisy and Cash’s relationship takes center stage, they have such a need for one another that it almost transcends time. It makes for a fabulous read. I’m so sad to see the series come to an end, but what an end it was. It may still be early in the year, but this is my favorite read so far. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next
