In this never-published story, eighteen-year-old Eden Leighton's modeling career goes up in smoke after she's injured while dragging her best friend, Belinda, from a fiery car crash. Her painful recovery is hindered when Belinda stops talking to her, her mom-slash-manager insists on following up every miracle treatment available, and a creepy fan stalks her. Support comes from the most unlikely of sources -- Adam, the hot soldier recuperating in the same hospital. Moody, tormented by the explosion that almost took his leg, Adam treats Eden like a broken toy one minute and the only girl in the world in the next. Eden doesn't care if she's scarred for life as long as Adam is in it. But Adam's life is the Army and if he can't rejoin his squad, nothing else matters... not even Eden.
