    Summary

    Ben Solo knows he's not on anyone's Christmas list this year. Ben hasn't been with anyone since he was 22 years old, when one night changed his life forever. Now, 33, he bears the scars of his mistakes, and keeps walls up to protect himself from getting hurt. He's made a life for himself. He owns a home, he has a job he loves, and he has learned to live with the way it hurts beneath his skin. Until he sees Rey, who steps right into his life and changes everything.

    Rey has always had to rely on herself. Growing up fast wasn't a choice, but a necessity. At 23 years old, she's not a stranger to risking her heart, but she has always drawn the line when it came to taking it to bed. Direct and stubborn, but compassionate and loyal, Rey is a force to be reckoned with, and never one to wear her heart on her sleeve. Even so, she still harbors the pang of abandonment from her childhood. She's never felt like she belonged anywhere. But the moment she sees Ben Solo, she feels the undeniable pull towards him, and decides to follow it... straight into his heart.
