~ Synopsis
~
Lies. Betrayal. A double life.
Lola
Anders isn’t who she seems. Two years ago she ran away from a dangerous life
she’d been living since she way born in order to stay alive. She changed her
name and reinvented herself into a good girl… at least part of the time anyway.
A secretary by day and an escort by night, Lola lives a double life in order to
maintain balance and survive. And things are going well, until a ghost from her
past shows up out of nowhere.
Sexy
and dangerous Layton Everett enters Lola’s life again without warning. Not only
does Layton know who Lola really is but he also used to work for her family’s
sworn enemy . Lola worries he’s shown up to finish the hit put on her two years
ago, so she tries to stay away from him, but it’s difficult when he seems to be
everywhere. Plus, she’s attracted to him more than she likes to admit.
The
closer Lola gets to Layton, the more her life gets turned upside. She ends up
getting caught up in Layton's dangerous world and ultimately the life she ran
away from catches up with her again.

Finally he pulls away and looks at me
again. His eyes are a little watery, like he’s been crying. “Run away with me.”
There’s desperation in his eyes, a silent plea.
I bite down on my lip. “What?”
He sits up and traps my face between his hands. “Run away with me,
Lolita. We can start over and I’ll keep you safe. Please tell me you trust me
enough to run away with me, like you said to me when we were fourteen. God I
wish I would have just done it… Things would have been so different if I just
done it back then.” He pulls me against him again, embracing me tightly.
I remember the day my mom died, right before I found her in my
dad’s arms in the driveway, I’d suggested to Layton that we run away. I’d never
liked the world I grew up in and leaving seemed like such a great idea—still
does. I just wish I could permanently leave it all behind.
“Where would we go?” I ask with my face tucked against his chest
where I can hear his heart thudding almost violently. I think about Dannie and
Mary Lou and how I’m just going to disappear, leaving them to wonder what
happened to me. Then there’s Nyjah. I don’t know whether he was with Reagan on
blackmailing me or not, but I still wish I could say good-bye. I feel guilty
about it, but know in my heart that I can’t go back to Glensdale. Maybe one
day, if this all ever settles down. One day. I hope. I hope. I hope.
Layton swiftly slants back, looking flabbergasted. “You’re
seriously considering it? After everything?”
“You know I’m crazy enough.” I try to make a joke but miss the
mark badly—it’s been a long time. Not knowing what else to say, I shrug. “I
have to run anyway. Might as well be with someone.” I give him the best smile I
can summon, but there’s too much darkness in me at the moment to be happy.
He smiles back, but it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “I know, but
I want to make sure.”
I think I’m sure. The last thing I want to do is leave Layton when
I just got him back. “Layton, can I ask you a question?”
He nods, this time with confidence. “You can ask me anything.”
