BLURB:
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.
