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 isa 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 leaveeven when vengeance could kill us both.
