~Summary from Goodreads~
Cami Broussard
has her future all figured out. She'll finish her senior year of high school,
then go to work full-time as an apprentice chef in her father's French
restaurant, alongside her boyfriend, Luke. But then twenty-year-old ex-Marine
Julian Wyatt comes to live with Cami's family while recovering from serious
injuries. And suddenly Cami finds herself questioning everything she thought
she wanted.
Julian's all attitude, challenges and intense green-brown eyes. But beneath that abrasive exterior is a man who just might be as lost as Cami's starting to feel. And Cami can't stop thinking about him. Talking to him. Wanting to kiss him. He's got her seriously stirred up. Her senior year has just gotten a lot more complicated….

~Excerpt~
It’s maybe twelve-thirty when I decide to do the
unthinkable. I slip my jeans back on, take a room key, glance at Estella—sound
asleep—and tiptoe out the door barefoot, hands shaking. I knock lightly on
Julian’s door, sure he too is fast asleep. I can’t hear a thing inside his
room. But I know he’s got the cane and his legs to deal with, so I wait. Even
though he’s sleeping. He said he was tired. This is stupid... I clutch my room key and decide I’ll leave.
I’ll wait twenty more seconds and then leave. He’s not coming. Okay. I turn—and
of course that’s when the door opens. Jeans. Cane. Bare chest.
“Hi,” I manage.
The door opens wider. I slip
inside, and I’m instantly pinned to the wall by Julian’s free arm and body.
“Estella’s asleep?” he asks.
“Yes.”
“You’re trembling.”
“I... ” His kiss leaves me
breathless; my arms are wrapped around him. His balance is better now, but
distantly I worry about him falling again. My legs may give out also. “Ahh... ”
“Come to bed.”
