Abandoned
by her parents at fourteen, Jessica knows what it means to struggle.
Jessica’s vowed that getting her degree is the only thing she has
time for, until a summer internship brings Justin into her life. But
Justin has scars of his own. A tour of duty in Afghanistan has left
him with wounds. A medical discharge from the Navy leaves Justin
struggling to make sense of his new reality. Then he meets Jessica;
but can the two of them leave their pain in the past and make a
future together?

Excerpt
I turned
to leave. There were a million things I wanted to say to Justin, but
without a guarantee that he’d respond the way I wanted him too, I
was too afraid.
“Jess.”
“Yes?”
I was almost at the door.
Justin
hopped up on the table behind him and rested his feet on a chair. I
waited for him to talk. “I’m scared,” he finally said.
“Scared
of what?”
“That
you’ll break me.”
I walked
over to Justin slowly and stood in front of him. “You don’t
believe I care about you?”
“I do.
But feelings change, people change.”
“I
don’t know what I’m supposed to be saying right now. I was the
one who asked you out. I was the one who told you I was interested,
but you turned me down, twice.”
“Because
I’m an idiot.”
“Justin…”
“Just
hear me out, okay?”
“Ok.”
I took a step closer to him and he reached for my hand.
