***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...
