Before I Fall - Welcome to the Fall 10 Year Anniversary (Hardcover) Edition

"Romantic and real and sexy, Before I Fall is an emotional ride that grabs hold and doesn't let go." ~ Kristen Callihan, New York Times Bestselling author of The Hookup

 I have to be strong, to take care of my dad. I can’t risk falling. Because there is no one there to catch me.

But the thing about being the strong one? Nobody asks if you're breaking. Nobody sees you're already broken. Until someone does. 

I never imagined Noah. 

He’s intense. Dark. He makes me want things I cannot have. Because I can’t risk it. I can’t risk him. I can’t risk falling. Because there is no one there to catch me. I have to be strong, to take care of my dad. But the thing about being the strong one? Nobody asks if you're breaking. Nobody sees you're already broken. Until someone does. 

And then you can't hide anymore. 

Stay focused. Get a job. Save her father’s life. 

Beth Lamont knows far too much about the harsh realities of life her gilded classmates have only read about in class. She’ll 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 doesn’t know how to be a student. All he knows is war. But he’s going to college now to fulfill a promise and he doesn’t break his promises. Except he doesn’t 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. And a war that neither of them can forget could destroy them both.
