    Summary

    Rey is counting down the days until she can finally finish her engineering degree. All she has to do is survive one more year.

    That would be easier if she wasn't stuck in the class taught by Professor Ren, a notoriously demanding teacher with impossible standards. Worse still, he's been assigned as her thesis advisor.

    They get off on the wrong foot immediately, and it will be a miracle if they don't kill each other before the year is done.

    But the more they are forced to work together, the more Rey's feelings begin to change. She finds it harder and harder to remember that he's her teacher, and that boundaries exist for a reason.

    Summary

    Benjamin Solo hadn’t always been abhorrent. 

    There had been a time, long ago, when he would smile freely and laugh until he couldn’t breathe. When he would grab her hand, so small within his even then, and together they’d run through fields of grass and wildflowers.

    Those memories felt tainted now, in the wake of his glares and his sharp tongue.

    Now, Benjamin Solo wasn’t just abhorrent. He was an unfeeling, unabashed rake with a soul black as a country night and no heart to speak of. He was the worst person Rey had ever had cause to interact with. And, most repulsively, he was now her bloody fiancé.

    Summary

    2005.

    Rey Niima's new foster placement seems promising enough - her foster mom is a little too religious and her daughter is kind of mean, but it's not the worst family she's lived with. She thinks that Chandrila could finally be the place she's meant to be. That is, until she meets her foster mom's boyfriend.

    Summary

    She’s mastered the art of being 'just fine'.

    After years of drifting through a traumatic childhood in the foster system, Rey has finally clawed her way to a fresh start at university. Her plan is simple: get her teaching degree, keep her head down, and keep the "hyper" persona dialled up high enough to drown out the echoes of her childhood. If she keeps talking, she doesn't have to remember. She can fool anyone.

    He’s spent his life listening.

    Ben Solo is a man of quiet graviton, grounded by the unwavering love of a family that adores him. He doesn't need much, but in a crowded seminar room, he finds himself captivated by the girl who speaks a mile a minute but whose eyes tell a different story.

    When a chance encounter reveals they share more than just a classroom, their lives begin to tangle. Ben offers a kind of steady, quiet devotion Rey doesn't know how to translate. But as the shadows of her PTSD and the weight of her nightmares begin to bleed into her new life, Rey has to figure out if it’s much easier to survive alone than it is to be loved.

    Summary

    “You’re going to be one of those clients, aren’t you?”
    “One of what clients?”
    “The impossible ones.”
    He glanced at her then, dark eyes flickering with something almost like amusement.
    “I’m trusting you to find me something good,” he said.
    There was something about the way he said it—easy, but certain—that made her pause for just a second.
    Then she shook it off.
    “Yeah, well,” she said lightly, turning toward the kitchen, “we might be here a while then.”

    ~

    Freshly single, Rey reconnects with her old college friend Ben when he moves back to town after years away.
    They fall back into being best friends, just like before… or so she tells herself.
