Synopsis (from Goodreads):
Samantha Connelly has been on the run since she was seven years old. Forced into Witness Protection after her father saw something he shouldn’t has caused her to learn to blend in. She’s moved, changed her name, and her appearance more times than she can count over the last nineteen years all along wondering if it will ever end. Her handler, Kevin, along with her parents have assured her that it won’t be forever, but as the years tick by she’s slowly given up hope that she’ll ever be normal.
Now at 26, Sam has moved to Chicago and is working at The Rusty Nail as a bartender calling herself Mallory. Her father passed away two years before leaving her to finish what he started…put away the ‘bad guys’. Living on the run in hiding has been harder than she ever imagined, and finding love has always been out of the question. Who would want to be with someone they couldn’t be honest with? She’s resigned herself to being alone, until… Brian walks in.
Brian Sellers is everything Sam has been trying to avoid her entire life. He’s clad in leather and torn jeans, donning several tattoos…all-in-all a bad boy. When their eyes connect one evening, everything she’s ever told herself falls to the wayside as an indescribable draw pulls her to him. He’s sexy and domineering, and something about him reminds her of a boy she used to know.
The more time she spends with Brian, the more she wants him, but…Brian is not everything he seems to be. When Sam happens to see the tat on his wrist, the same tat that her father saw all those years ago, she realizes she’s flirting with the enemy. Brian has no idea that he’s hanging out with the one girl his boss wants dead.
Can Sam hide her identity from the first man she’s had real feelings for? What will Brian do when he finds out who she really is? Can love really conquer all?

My Review:
When Samantha was only a girl, her dad witnessed a crime, the people who committed the crime didn’t intend to leave a survivors but Samantha’s dad was able to hide except that they were now after him and his family. For years Samantha and her family lived in protection, moving from town to town changing their names and never attaching themselves to anyone or anything. But years later Samantha is now going by the name Mallory and tends bar at a local dive bar in walks Brian, sexy, mysterious and desperate for Mallory’s attention but he could be on the wrong side.
I get the statement here, Samantha/Mallory is on the run and cannot get attached to anyone. Brian is the sexy biker/bad boy, it started out fine but I did not think the story was executed properly. I needed more character development, lack thereof led me to not really grow attached to either main character and therefore I had a harder time following with their fast paced relationship, it was somewhat flat for me. The story really began to kick up at the end and the cliffhanger will really get you wondering where the story will go next, so I’m not sure how much you could build on there. Brian is not who or what we thought he was and because of that there may be some more potential here could build on the story line.
