He thinks he’s damaged goods, unworthy of her love. She wants to prove him wrong, but trying to get through his tough shell is like kicking water.

Milly Hamilton falls hard for her patient, the crazy sexy but emotionally unstable ex-marine Cameron Watson. She nurses his wounds and tells him secrets when she thinks he is still unconscious. But things change when he is transferred to rehab, and his traumatic past keeps resurfacing, turning their budding relationship into one headache after another.

Cameron knows Milly is the perfect girl, but he lets his trauma stand in their way, time and again. Does he want to commit to her when his own issues aren’t resolved? Does he want to keep driving her crazy?

If their personal hurdles weren’t enough, no one in their life wants them to be together. That’s right: Milly’s super-controlling mother, a state senator, is about to marry Cameron’s dad, a member of The Joint Chiefs of Staff. With the big wedding looming, Milly and Cameron will have to decide how hard they’re willing to fight for the love everyone is convinced is wrong.
