"An agent on the run"

Jared Romaine has been on the run for three years. His whole life had been planned out. He had been a FBI agent and had just become engaged to Peyton Douglas. He and his partner had been investigating corruption when his life fell apart. They must have been getting too close since two people were murdered and Jared was framed for these murders. Thinking he could get to Peyton to warn her and tell her he had been framed, Jared wasn't expecting to be betrayed. Peyton had been shown the evidence against him and couldn't believe that the man that she loved could commit these murders, but the evidence didn't lie.

Going to her car after a hard day at work, Peyton noticed that something seemed wrong, but thinks it was just her imagination. Once in her car she finds Jared hiding in the back waiting for her. He had just come back into town after getting back in touch with his ex-partner. Someone was trying to frame Peyton and her life was now in danger. The only way he could keep he safe was to convince her that he had nothing to do with the murders three years ago and that she should trust him.

The story about the conspiracy was a great backdrop for this romance novel. These characters were interesting to read about and I enjoyed reading this novel.
