Getting close is dangerous�
He�s too close, and I start to fidget, needing to keep my hands busy so they won�t grab hold of his shirt. Because that�s what they want to do. Draw him closer. So I can Inhale his scent. Taste his skin.
I didn�t run because I was in an abusive relationship; I ran because my soul was being crushed. I�d forgotten how to live, how to be happy. Running out of gas in a small town, I catch the eye of the local sheriff when the very last thing I want is to come under the scrutiny of the police. I left my boyfriend with blood on my hands, and I know as soon as the wound heals he�ll come looking for me.
Adam Madison draws me to him so easily I can�t even pretend to fight. And the closer we get, the more combustible we become. I�ve never experienced such passion or power. My need is as great as his, but I�m sure he�ll walk away from me once he knows my secret. No other man would stay.
I�ve had enough complications in my life. I�m not looking for more, and that�s exactly what Adam is�a sexy, magnetic complication with secrets of his own. And with my ex on the hunt, I can�t risk bringing him down with me. But he won�t leave�even when vengeance could kill us both.
