Being Lovers — Rachel Carrington

Escaping my past has become a full-time job for me. Ever since my boyfriend died, I've been running from something -- his father, a hired hitman, the truth. If I didn't have Adam, I don't think I would have survived. He's become my lifeline.

It only took us weeks to fall in love. Yes, it was quick, but love doesn't tell time. At first, it might have been two desperate people coming together, but now, I know it's real. I wish I could say we've lived happily ever after since. But there's a price on my head.

Protecting me from a sniper has become Adam's sole purpose in life, and I hate that our relationship is surrounded by guns, blood, death, and lies. Add betrayal to the mix, and I begin to wonder if what we've found, this unique bond we share, will last.

One thing is certain. Someone is trying to kill me, and losing Adam will do just that.
