Edge of Dusk: A second-chance slow-burn romantic suspense series with secrets that will no longer stay buried

The first book in USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble's Annie Pederson Series returns to fan-favorite Rock Harbor with new characters, complex new mysteries, and a new chance to find love.

Nine-year-old Annie Pederson's life changed the night her sister was kidnapped. The two had been outside playing on a dock, and Annie never forgave herself for her role in her sister's disappearance. Twenty-four years later and now a law enforcement ranger, Annie is still searching for answers as she grieves a new loss: the death of her husband and parents in a boating accident.

But Annie and her eight-year-old daughter, Kylie, aren't the only people in the town of Rock Harbor whose lives have been marred by tragedy. While managing the property around the Tremolo Resort and Marina she inherited, Annie discovers a dead body floating in the cold Superior surf and begins to work with the sheriff's office to tie the death to a series of other mysterious reports in the area.

At the same time, her first love, Jon Dustan, returns after nine years away, reigniting the town's memory of a cold case he'd been suspiciously linked to before he left to pursue his orthopedic residency. For the sake of her investigation and her heart, Annie tries to stay away. But avoiding Jon becomes impossible once Annie realizes she is being targeted by someone desperate to keep secrets from the past hidden.

Readers love Edge of Dusk's Rock Harbor setting, cold case investigation, second-chance romance, and complicated family secrets. Perfect for fans of Terri Blackstock, Dani Pettrey, and Lisa Harris.

The Annie Pederson Series starts with Edge of Dusk and is followed by Dark of Night and Break of Day. All include discussion questions for book clubs and gluten-free recommendations that tie into the story.
