Stay focused. Get a job. Save her fathers life. Beth Lamont knows far too much about the harsh realities of life her gilded classmates have only read about in class. Shell do whatever it takes to take care of her father, even if that means tutoring a guy like Noah - a guy who represents everything she hates about the war, soldiers and what the Army has done to her family. Noah Warren doesnt know how to be a student. All he knows is war. But hes going to college now to fulfill a promise and he doesnt break his promises. Except he doesnt count on his tutor being drop dead gorgeous and distracting as hell. One look at Beth threatens to unravel the careful lies Noah has constructed around him. A simple arrangement turns into something neither of them can deny.
