title: Shooter
author: Bartal, Vanessa Gray
description: The shooter. The spotter. The gunner. The point man. A four-man Marine scout sniper unit, living and working together like brothers. They know how to get the job done, but when it comes to their personal lives it all falls to pieces. Corporal Nick Lassiter has been in the corps for almost a decade. A scout sniper, he heads his team. But with his shady past, he's nobody's idea of a true leader. Enter Ashleigh Desmond. A take-no-prisoners carpenter who couldn't be more opposite of Nick if she tried, they meet when she accidentally shoots him in the behind. They shouldn't be attracted to each other. They shouldn't work so well together. But they do. In Nick, Ashleigh sees a natural born leader who is afraid to take the final leap to become an officer. In Ashleigh, Nick sees someone who is vulnerable despite her outer toughness. Common sense tells them to stay apart, but life keeps throwing them together because someone is out to get Ashleigh, and even injured, Nick is the best hope she has of staying alive.
