Blurb:
What started out as a bit of research for a sociology paper
quickly turns into much more than Cindy ever expected. But can she survive
Danny’s PTSD long enough to form a relationship with him?
Cindy Waymire, a college senior in search for a topic for an upcoming sociology paper, finds more than a topic when she meets Army veteran and college freshman Danny Flynn outside the student union. An undeniable attraction to this troubled veteran leads her on a difficult and wind-ing path that brings her to a crossroads — get into a relationship with a man who has serious mental health problems or turn her back on one of the best men she’s ever met.
Can Cindy set her fears aside and follow her heart, or will the ghosts haunting Danny’s mind end their relationship before it begins?

Excerpt:
A
dark-haired guy with an athletic build, not more than an inch or two taller
than her height of five foot nine, stood scanning the area as though he was
lost. Clean-shaven, with just a hint of a five o’clock shadow along his jaw, he
wore a T-shirt and jeans, both fitting just tight enough to hint at lean
muscles. Cindy considered taking a candid photo and sending it to her
girlfriends, but her cell phone was in her purse and digging it out would be
too obvious. Maybe she could find another way to share this cutie with them.
His
actions reminded her of her own during her first semester there. She’d had to
ask someone where to find buildings so many times. Without those sympathetic
upperclassmen, she would have been perpetually lost.
If he was
a new student, that made her the sympathetic upperclassman. She stopped near
him and smiled. “Hi, can I help you find someplace?”
He didn’t
seem to hear her. She moved closer, thinking he might not realize she was
talking to him. “Excuse me.”
He twisted
and grabbed her wrist with startling speed. She screamed as he spun her around,
bringing her arm behind her and forcing her to the ground as he said something
unintelligible, but undeniably commanding. As he put a knee on her back and
pulled her other arm, she heard people running toward them and prayed they
could help. The guy was strong and no amount of struggling did any good. He
just tightened his grasp on her wrists and applied more pressure with his knee,
making it difficult for her to draw in a breath.
“Danny,
let her up!” a male voice said as the running steps stopped beside them.
“He’s a
threat.”
He? Before Cindy could figure out
what the guy was talking about, she felt some of his weight lift from her back.
“She’s a
noncombatant, Sarge,” a third male voice said.
The grip on
her wrists loosened. “What?”
“You’re in
the States, man.”
“Crap!” He released her wrists, and his weight lifted from
her completely.
