Debra doesn't need anyone to tell her that going from one relationship straight into another is never a good idea. Despite knowing this, she finds herself staring at a certain Marine with the body of a demigod and all covered in tattoos. Retired Marine, Trystan Debney, has seen and experienced his fair share of the bad and ugly. His physical and emotional scars are a testament to that. Even with the great support from his family and an inspiring new career, he feels unfulfilled. That is until he meets Debra Ames. She is everything he ever wanted in a woman, except for the fact that she wants nothing to do with him or relationships in general. She wants to learn how to be single and he wants a wife. Furthermore, she refuses to give him more than her body, not knowing that is all he needs to get to her heart. And once he has her heart, there's nothing he wouldn't do to keep her safe and far away from his enemies.

"He turned to face me without uttering a single word. Without warning his lips were on mine as he pushed me roughly against the wall of the house. His kiss was filled with passion and longing. It was as though he put all his feelings in to it and it made my heart melt in my chest. He traced his tongue along my bottom lip, wanting to deepen the kiss. I opened eagerly for him as he began to plunge his tongue in and out of my mouth, massaging my tongue with his own. I moaned as he pressed his body impossibly closer to mine, wrapping my legs around his waist. My hands tangled in his hair as I got lost in his embrace, my body craving more and more of him. I began to run my hands up and down his sculptured chest as he trailed kisses along my jaw and down my neck. When he reached the sweet spot just beneath my ear he began sucking on it softly, causing me to arch into him and another moan to escape me. I felt him smile against my neck, clearly enjoying the effect he was having on me, before returning to kiss my lips once more." Alex Henderson is just your average girl in her senior year in Brookville High, a school like any other. She's a quiet girl who has always kept to herself.

I wouldn't trade my best friend for anyone else in the world. He's amazing, funny, supportive, and everything that is great. He can be a little protective at times but it's okay since he doesn't go overboard with it. There's only one teeny little thing that I don't really like about him. Well, it's actually a big thing. It's what he is. It's that fact that he's the biggest player I've ever met! At first, I thought that I had a problem with my heart since it beats erratically whenever I see a certain blue eyed boy but then I realized that I might have a teeny little crush on my best friend. Not that I'll ever tell anyone. Not even Mels or Austen who are my other best friends. As long as Mike is still my best friend, it's all that matters. He's like my rock. I won't let a stupid crush ruin our years of friendship. The problem is that it's hard to forget about a crush since I see him literally every single day at school and the fact that he lives right next door.
