Staff Sergeant Hogan had devoted his entire adult life to the United States Marine Corps. He put off finding a girl, getting married, and starting a family so that he could focus on his career. Now he regretted it. He had twelve weeks, four hundred and eighty hours of leave time to spend with his mother, who was dying of cancer. Margaret Bailey had spent the majority of her life after her parents passing in Seaton Bay, anxious to get out and explore a city with a population grander then six hundred and twelve. She chose a big school in a big city and expected to stay there long after graduation. However, her plans changed drastically when her brother was discharged from the Marine Corps after losing his arm in combat. Although he never asked, she packed up her bags and the life she had made for herself in the city in order to care for him back in Seaton Bay. The last thing either ever expected to find in their separate seas of misery was happiness in one another. But can it last after Landon's four hundred and eighty hours are up?

"Pretty things break easily, Deci, it's a hard truth you're just going to have to accept." He sneered, gripping my throat tighter as he pressed me against the bathroom door, his dark eyes glazed over. My vision began to darken, the edges furling like the ears of well read book. I gasped, fighting against his hold, nails digging into the flesh of his arm, trying to speak past the burning sensation devouring my trachea.

After a horrific four year relationship with a tragic end, she's left with scars, both mental and physical.
