Plot Summary of Over the Line
"Jason Wilson spent one to many days next to heavy guns in the Army Rangers and is now partially deaf. Armed with a honorable discharge and no idea what he is going to do with his life he sets out to find his way. Along this path he becomes a drunk, a bouncer and a semi-pro wrestler before finally deciding to take up his former buddy on an offer of a job. When he contacts Nolan at his security firm he is immediately welcomed into the fold. Jason spends weeks getting to know the business and working on security plans until he is finally handed his first assignment.

“Sweet Baby Jane” Perkins is rock's mega-selling favorite bad girl. But her hard-living, tough-talking image is just that an image. When suddenly she is threatened and her semi-estranged mother is killed in a hit and run accident hours after talking to her, her manager calls in a favor and hires the firm Jason is working for. Far from being the spoiled star that Jason expects Janey turns out to be sweet, modest, and incredibly sexy. Their relationship starts out as a respectful relationship, once Janey figures out Jason isn't 18 and actually know what he is doing. But, before long the friendship is turning to mutual, heated desire which faces them off against a ruthless killer. This killer is going to great depths to keep their secret silent and suddenly there is more to the story about Janey mother's death. Unfortunately as Jason whisks Janey away to safety there appears to be a leak that lets the killer know where they are.

Just after Janey and Jason decide they need to work on where their feelings will take them the shooting starts and the danger to Janey escalates.
