Brandon Miller has his dream job, financial security, and he’s madly in love. Only one thing is missing—a commitment.
Angela Cooper’s ex-husband left her with deep scars, souring her on the concept of marriage. She’s not interested in a do-over. Not with Brandon or anyone. Her heart is locked securely away behind a thick wall.
With a ring in his pocket and hope in his heart, Brandon arranges a romantic getaway to the historic Harbor Pointe Inn, where he plans to pop the question.
Before they reach the inn, Angela’s got her camera in hand and ghosts on her mind. But they arrive to find a much more tangible horror.
Accident or foul play?
Someone is up to no good, and Angela is the next target. When suspects can be worldly or otherworldly, danger and secrets lurk everywhere.
Poised at the perilous edge of too late, Angela and Brandon face the fight of their lives.
Ms. Sikes builds a story with a romantic getaway destined to become memorable. Brandon is smitten with Angela and will do everything to convince her to marry him. Angela escaped a marriage to a man who mistreated her and vowed not to repeat the same mistake. Brandon is innovative, successful, and wealthy, but he needs Angela to complete his life. Angela works for his attorney, but he’s willing to support her photography dreams.
Brandon takes her to a romantic but haunted venue on the edge of the Pacific Ocean near a lighthouse. She wants to capture the ghosts on film, while he wants to make her his wife. Their arrival at the Inn is highlighted by an injured guest whom the owners suggest slipped on the rocky, slippery pathway. Perhaps it’s not just the pathway that poses the threats. Brandon’s plans for a proposal are disrupted when Angela gets brutally attacked, and Brandon fears the worst.
Ms. Sikes masterfully increases the tension and mystery page-by-page with characters who bear watching. Brandon’s plans for a proposal are disrupted. Angela gets brutally attacked, and Brandon fears the worst.  Fans of romantic suspense will enjoy this stand-alone page-turner until the remarkable ending they will never see coming. The Edge of Too Late and the Harbor Pointe Series will keep you entertained by the fireside through the cold winter months, but one hot toddy may not be enough to relax the reader’s fears. You decide.
Jan Sikes writes compelling and creative stories from the heart.
She openly admits that she never set out in life to be an author. But she had a story to tell. Not just any story, but a true story that rivals any fiction creation. She brought the entertaining true story to life through fictitious characters in an intricately woven tale encompassing four books, accompanying music CDs, and a book of poetry and art.
And now, this author can’t find a way to put down the pen. She continues to write fiction and has published numerous award-winning short stories and novels.
Jan is an active blogger, an avid fan of Texas music, and a grandmother of five. She resides in North Texas.

Thanks for sharing your review. I read this with my ears and that fear and tension definitely came through. Why didn’t I think of a toddy remedy? HA! At 126 pages/ 2 hour listen two toddies could make for an interesting post-reading experience. I am IN!
Thanks for stopping by. A good story. I can’t wait for the audio version. Take care.
Thank you, Kristine, for stopping by and leaving a comment! It’s never too late for that toddy remedy. 🙂
