OUT OF LINE
I always follow orders. My job, my
life, depends on it. I thought this job would be easy, all the rules were made
crystal clear, but when I met Carrie Wallington, everything got muddy. She's a
rule I know I shouldn't break, but damn if I don't inch closer to the breaking
point each time I see her. I'm ready to step out of line. And even worse? I'm
living a lie. They say the truth will set you free, but in my case...
The truth will cost me everything.
OUT OF TIME
Being Carrie's bodyguard was one
thing. Being her boyfriend is another. Every day she's mine is a day the sun
shines in my life. Yet our time together is running out. Her father will never
think a tattooed Marine will be good enough, so I'll do whatever it takes to be
worthy of her love. But the road will take me away from the girl who makes me
feel alive--the girl I can't live without.
Time only gets us so far...
OUT OF MIND
All I wanted was to be worthy of
Carrie. One mission, just one, and I’d be able to give her the future she
deserved. Then everything went wrong, leaving me tainted and broken. Carrie
wants me to be who I was, but all that’s left is what they made of me. I’m no
good for her. No good for anyone like this. I have to figure out how to move
forward. Alone.
Sometimes love isn’t enough…

OUT OF LINE - EXCERPT SIX:
“Get lost,” a hard voice that I
recognized said from the shadows. “You’ll go back to your stupid little party
and find another drunk girl to hit on.”
“Says who?” Beer Breath asked, a
cocky grin on his face.
“Says me,” Finn said, stepping out
of the shadows. He flexed his fists and stepped closer to me. “Go ahead. Give
me a reason to punch your fucking face in, and I’ll gladly oblige.”
Beer Breath paled and shuffled
backward. “Dude. She kissed me.” “No, I didn’t.”
“We wouldn’t expect you to know
the difference, now would we?”
Finn asked, his voice mocking. He
was practically begging for a fight. And all because of what? Because some dude
kissed me? Why did he even care? “You have five seconds to be gone.”
Beer Breath turned red. “You know
what? Run off with your little boyfriend and don’t ever come back to this frat
again.”
Beer Breath stormed off, leaving
Finn and me alone on the porch. I pivoted and gave him what I hoped was an
annoyed look. “You do realize I can handle a grabby-hands boy by myself, right?
I dealt with you, after all.”
He stepped closer, towering over
me. “Ginger, you have no idea how to deal with me.”
I stiffened. “I know that if I
kissed you now, you wouldn’t push me away.”
“Of course I wouldn’t. Look at
you.” His gaze dipped over my body, and when he met my eyes again his own were
blazing and hot. “Any man would kiss you back.”
“You’d push me away after.”
He lifted a shoulder but said
nothing.
He was so darn condescending and
cocky. “Why are you at another
frat party that I just happen to be at? Who are you? Why are
you following me?”
Finn leaned against a palm tree
and looked far too casual, but he reminded me of one of those lions on the
Discovery Channel. He looked perfectly calm on the surface, but in a second he
could be all deadly and lethal. “I’m here because I was taking a walk down the
beach, and I saw you and that loser kissing. Then I saw you push him away. I
wanted to make sure you were okay, but now I’m wishing I had bashed his head
into the fucking wall before I let him go.”
My heart rose to my throat. “Why?”
“Because you should be kissing me,” he practically whispered. “Not some
college boy who doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
He closed the distance between us.
And as soon as his hands were on my hips, his mouth was on mine. The familiar
sensations he’d awoken in me came to life, and I clung to him. His tongue
entwined with mine, and he grabbed my waist, yanking me against him.
I lifted up on tiptoe, trying to
get closer, and moaned softly. He needed to do that again. And more. This is
how a kiss was supposed to feel. This is what it was supposed to do to me. I
might be inexperienced, but even I knew what a good kiss felt like.
And. This. Was. It.
I owned these three books before the boxed set came out. LOL I never know whether to buy book right away or wait until a series is over in case they end up being put together in a cheaper set. :)
