All three OUT OF LINE books in one volume. PLUS two bonus scenes AND the original ending to OUT OF TIME! 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 BACKUP PLAN is classic new adult at its finest. With plenty of angst, drama and emotion, I seriously loved this romance!

Joseph Hernandez has wanted Marie since he first saw her outside her college dorm. He tried to make a move on her back then, but she made it very clear she wasn't interested. It's been ten years since that kiss, and she's done nothing but push him away ever since, so the last thing he wants to do is crawl to her on his knees to ask her for her help in an undercover investigation. Marie was still a girl when Joseph scared her by making her...well, feel. At the time she wasn't ready for the kind of things a guy like him brought out in a girl, but now she's ready to open herself up to the possibility that her friends might have been right all this time. When Joseph asks her for a favor, she realizes now is the time to go after what she's always been too afraid to admit she wanted... Joseph as hers.

Nothing could make me leave my family alone for Christmas-except maybe my father-in-law. I swore to Carrie I'd make it home in time, and I'm keeping that promise. One way or another... I'll be home for Christmas. Some promises can't be kept, and sometimes things just don't work out. Finn is my world, my life. But when my worst nightmares come true, I'm faced with the impossible truth. Without him... I'm lost.

Coming home... I've hated Ben Rollins ever since he broke my heart in high school. I've never fully recovered from it...even though I ran away as far as I could. Now I've returned home, fleeing something worse than I could have ever imagined. When our Captain partners us up together, I'm forced to realize that what I feel for him isn't hate at all. It's far worse. Second chances... Sarah's the one who got away. She never really explained her abrupt departure from my life, but to be honest, I no longer give a damn. What we'd once had was dead, and now I'm stuck with her at my side permanently, no matter how I feel about it. But when the truth comes out, and old secrets are unburied, being thrown together becomes so much more than a second chance...it becomes life or death. And we have no intention of losing.

When it all comes crashing down... Everything I thought I had with Austin Murphy--safety, stability, the normalcy I crave but my celebrity lifestyle rarely allows--was ripped away in one night. I wanted to surprise him, but the joke was on me. Now I don't know if I ever really knew him at all. Someone has to pick up the pieces... Mackenzie Forbes was everything I ever wanted and the one person I didn't deserve. When a past mistake costs me the girl I love, I'll do everything I can to get her back. We both have demanding careers and family secrets darkening our pasts, but I need Mackenzie in my future. Sometimes everything you have to give just isn't enough...

Once burned Finding my fiancee naked on my couch might've been a good thing, if her ex-boyfriend hadn't been with her. For the past eight years I've been a witness to the power of true love, but after getting burned I'd decided there wasn't any hope for me finding it for myself. Until I met Noelle Brandt in a hotel bar. Maybe it wasn't the most romantic meeting, but the moment I met her I knew I had to have her. The more I learn about her, the more I know I'll do whatever it takes to keep her. Twice shy I'd already found the love of my life, but I'd lost that love forever. And I'd been lost ever since. But one night a wounded man makes all of that go away. He makes me laugh, live, and feel alive. When he tells me he has no intention of letting me go, I finally begin to believe in the power of true love again. That is, until I find out who he really is and by then, it's far too late to correct the mistakes we've already made. By the time we both know the truth, the lines have already been blurred beyond recognition.

The lines we once crossed so easily have widened and torn us apart...Once upon a time I thought Finn and I would live happily ever after, but real life doesn't always have a happy ending. He's testing my trust, and I'm losing faith in the man I thought I'd spend the rest of my life with, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. He's the one I trusted to keep me safe, but now he's the source of my greatest pain...Forgiveness is fragile, and some fractures never fully heal... One mistake--a slip in a moment of weakness--might cost me everything I've worked so hard for. The thing about trust is that it's a lot easier to lose than it is to build. Just as I'm about to give up and surrender to the demons from my past, an unexpected threat reminds me what I'm best at: protecting the woman I love. Whether or not she wants me, I will fight for Carrie and our daughter, and I will keep them safe--no matter the cost. Even if I have to put my life and my heart on the line.

Reaching for sunlight...Finn survived the ambush and came home to me, but in his head, the battle is still raging. He's falling apart and I'm trying my best to pick up the pieces of him, to find the us we used to be. I love him as much as I ever did, but love isn't enough to fix this. I thought telling my father about our relationship would be the hardest thing we'd ever have to face. I was wrong.Lost in shadows...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.

I'm just a girl... I'm a famous country star who's spent her life cultivating a good girl persona to avoid bad press, but I've reached my limit. I'm going away for spring break with my two best friends from college, and we've vowed to spend the vacation seeking out fun in the sun--along with some hot, no-strings-attached sex. The only thing I needed was the perfect guy, and then I met Austin Murphy. He might be totally wrong for me, but the tattooed bad boy is hard to resist. When I'm in his arms, everything just feels right. And I'm just a guy... I'm just a bartender who lives in Key West, stuck in an endless cycle of boredom. But then Mackenzie Forbes, America's Sweetheart herself, comes up to me and looks at me with those bright green eyes...and everything changes. She acts like she's just a normal girl and I'm just a normal guy, but that couldn't be further from the truth. My past isn't pretty, you know. I did what I had to do to survive, and she'd run if she learned the truth about my darkness. But with her, I'm finally realizing what it's like to be alive. To laugh, live, and be happy. All good things must come to an end...
