Fighting Beside My Hero

Addie Heathfield has had a rough year. Her brother, who she idolizes, is in the army and she hasn't gotten any letters for the past few months. Her breakup at the end of the previous school year left her the victim of terrible bullying due to her ex-boyfriend spreading some, um, private pictures. She thinks she is at the end of her line until her brother comes back with a painfully handsome man in tow.

Carter Lawson doesn't have anyone outside of the army. His last foster care family kicked him out at 16. The army seemed God sent. They accepted him and made him feel like he had the makings of a new family. Then, one of the men in his regiment offers to house him during a break. When he gets to the house, he meets the sister. She's closed off and angry at the world. He gets that like no one else.

Addie doesn't want to get involved with Carter. Carter knows it's a bad idea to care for Addie. But everything about her draws him in and he makes her feel safe.

This is a bad idea.

Right?
