My Girl to Protect

Cammi
After my best friend Millie and her ex-con boyfriend come to my rescue and move me into their apartment building, I’m safe for the first time in my life. Finally, I’m able to focus on more than just surviving the day. One of the first things to catch my attention is my new neighbor, Noah. He’s older, grumpy, and reclusive—all things I should avoid. But something about him draws me in, and when I hear him tormented by his nightmares in the middle of the night, I’m determined to help. Noah makes me feel safe, and with my would-be attacker still harassing me, Noah’s protection is the only thing that gives me peace. It seems like I do the same for him, and as things between us start to heat up, I’m hoping Noah can be part of my new life. He’s holding back through, and I’m starting to fear he might become my first heartbreak instead.

Noah
I’m a former Army Ranger with memories full of horror. After receiving a PTSD diagnosis, I’m shipped back home to start a new life. I don’t know where to start, so I take a friend’s advice and move into a tiny apartment in LA. Every day is the same, and every night I’m tormented by fresh nightmares. That is until I meet Cammi. My cute little neighbor is like a ray of sunshine, seeking me out in the darkness of my mind. She’s the only thing that brings me any peace. She’s so young and sweet, she deserves better than a broken soldier like me. My heart screams at me to cling to her with both hands, while my brain tells me to let her go. But when I learn Cammi is in danger, it’s my heart that wins. Cammi is mine, and I’ll do anything to keep her safe.
Not all who are lost want to be found.
But love has a way of finding you wherever you are.
Wilder House is a safe haven where those who need it can go to hide, to heal, and to reinvent themselves.
In the heart of LA, Wilder House is run by Wilder Tate, an ex-con and former gang member. It’s not a halfway house, not exactly. The residents rarely stay long and always keep to themselves, but they all have one thing in common: they’re lost. Some by choice, others by circumstance. Sometimes, they find what they need at Wilder House. Sometimes, what they need finds them.
