On Edge by Brooke Matthews
Ready. Set. Run.

Marley

For fifteen years, Marley has spent his days plotting, waiting, dreaming. Once, his dreams were filled with limitless color, love, and boyish ambition. Now, they’re stained in red. He demands justice for his wasted time behind bars, sentenced for a crime he and his twin didn't commit. Finally, they're free, and he won't be content until the blood of those who falsely persecuted him pours down his blade.

He's determined. He's murderous. He's ready.

Kit

A twin, a convict, a devil… Kit's all of those things and more. While prison only served to make his twin stronger, it shattered Kit. Caging his free spirit left him damaged beyond repair. He hides behind pretty words and a cocksure attitude, but his truth is inked into his skin. He’s no longer the smiling teen with ever-changing aspirations. Now, he only feels an all-consuming rage and a need to release it on those who wronged him. With their plans coming to fruition, he tastes retribution on his tongue.

He's wicked. He's hungry. He's set.

Lennon

On the outside, it seems like Lennon lives a picturesque life. He has the perfect parents, the dream job, and enough trust fund money to live a life of luxury. In truth, he's a lonely soul who fills the void with baking decadent sweets and mouth-watering pies. But Lennon's tired of being controlled, berated, and manipulated, all in the name of being perfect. So when his stepbrothers walk back into his life, they prove to Lennon he isn't anyone's punching bag. They offer him a place to belong, and Lennon doesn't even bother to resist their dangerous temptation.

He's eager. He's scared. But he's not going to run.

The twins' plan was simple. They thought they were prepared for anything.

But they weren't prepared for him.

Lennon was supposed to be the key to their revenge, but they discover he might just hold the key to their hearts instead.

Before it’s too late, will they recognize that Lennon's not their enemy, or will he become another casualty in their fight for retribution?

This book will be graphic, so please heed the TWs. I do my best to write down as many as I can think of, but I'm only human, and it's possible I might miss something. There will be violence, murder, I repeat, murder, smexy times, self-harm, mentions of past child abuse, current off page abuse to an MC (None of the MCs are the abuser), stalking, knife play, primal play, breath play, and mentions of the passing of a parental figure, and one scene of involuntary autocannibalism.
