Welcome to Litsy!

I thought I could do this. I thought I could leave the war behind. I was wrong. I can�t do this. I can�t go to class and pretend like everything is normal. That I�m normal. I�m not. I�ve lost everything that matters to me. But I made a promise. And if I�m going to keep that promise, I have to focus. I have to pretend that I belong on this southern campus that drips with old money. And I have to pass stats. That�s where Beth comes in. I�m terrified she�ll see through me. That the careful lies and easy smile won�t be enough to convince her that everything is fine. That she�ll see how broken I really am. But there�s something about her that draws me closer. A sadness in her eyes that am powerless to resist. I should walk away. Protect her from the broken, darkness in me. Before we both fall into something neither of us can control Stay focused. Get a job. Save her father�s life. Beth Lamont knows far too much about the harsh realities of life her gilded classmates have only read about in class. She�ll do whatever it takes to take care of her father, even if that means tutoring a guy like Noah - a guy who represents everything she hates about the war, soldiers and what the Army has done to her family. Noah Warren doesn�t know how to be a student. All he knows is war. But he�s going to college now to fulfill a promise and he doesn�t break his promises. Except he doesn�t count on his tutor being drop dead gorgeous and distracting as hell. One look at Beth threatens to unravel the careful lies Noah has constructed around him. A simple arrangement turns into something neither of them can deny. And a war that neither of them can forget could destroy them both.
