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…
The following books are the books you will find in The Out Of Line set

THE OUT OF LINE SET
by Jen McLaughlin
OUT OF MIND
She did sneak into my room every single night, but we never
acknowledged her visits. It was our unspoken agreement. Without fail, I would
have a nightmare every night. Also without fail, she would come in and comfort
me until I fell back asleep. Then, in the morning, we pretended it never
happened. I could tell she wanted to talk about it, but she kept silent.
She just gave, without asking for anything in return.
She was too good for me.
“I’ll try tonight,” she agreed, stretching up on tiptoes to
press her mouth
to mine.
I tensed and pulled away. I couldn’t...she couldn’t really
want me right
now. Not when I looked and felt like this. She stepped back, the disappointment
in her eyes way too fucking clear. “I’m going out to refill your prescription.
Want to come with me?”
I’d love to, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t ready for the world to
see me yet. “Nah. I’ll stay here.”
“O-Okay.” She watched me, her brow furrowed. “Did you see
the sun is shining?”
My heart wrenched. We used to say that, back when I’d been
overseas. It had been our code for “I love you.” Back when we’d been a secret.
Back before her father found out about us. Before he’d threatened me if I ever
hurt his baby girl.
I didn’t want to hurt her, and yet I was.
I needed to start acting happy
better. I pasted a big grin on my face. I felt like a fucking clown. “I
did. It’s so bright.”
She nodded, perking up a bit. “Are you sure you don’t want
to go out with me? It could be fun. Maybe we could go out to dinner? Have a little
date.”
I started to waver. A date sounded fucking fabulous. It had
been so long since I felt normal. Since I felt human. We hadn’t had any alone
time together, unless you counted stolen moments like this one, and it had been
way too long since we acted like a couple at all. I was a fucking mess, and I
knew it.
Could I pretend not to be, for her? I could try. “Well...”
I looked over at the nightstand. The mirror over the top of
it showed us in perfect profile. She watched me with a hopeful look in her eyes.
All red curls, gorgeous skin, and bright blue eyes. She was flawless. And then there was me...
Beauty and the Beast.
The wound on my head ran a thin line across my skull,
extending down
past my eyebrow. My shaven head was patchy at best, due to some lovely hospital
clippers that had been used on me. I was told my hair would grow back in
eventually, but I was supposed to go out with her like this? I could picture
the looks now.
The disgust. The pity.
No. I wasn’t ready.
