    Summary

    “You think you can teach me how to swim in twenty-one days?” Rey shook her head now. “I won’t go to this event half-prepared only to embarrass myself.” The idea of all those people watching her fumble her way down the lap lane, him scrutinizing from the other side made the idea seem even worse than before.

    “You won’t embarrass yourself. I won’t let that happen.” His voice cut through her thoughts and she stared at him. For once he was looking at her without annoyance. In fact, he looked determined and his conviction was intoxicating. “You have potential, I see it. You can learn in time, trust me.”

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Rey is an overworked and undervalued nurse case manager at Health United. She escapes from the painful office politics in the winter by swimming laps at the indoor pool at night. One surly lifeguard asks her to compete in a partners swim event and she accepts. During the day, she is arguing with one awful Dr. Solo via email and at night she is slowly catching feelings for Kylo Ren, who simultaneously insults her and makes sure she eats dinner.

    Content warning: This story will talk a lot about food and physical conditioning.

    Summary

    “Oh,” she dragged out the syllable. “I know what you are.” She stepped closer to him, emboldened, pressing a finger to his sweaty chest. She furrowed at the gross hot sensation and wiped it on her pants.
    “Oh yeah, sweetheart, let me hear it.” His voice was low and sarcastic and she hated him.
    “You are an arrogant, stupid meathead who has taken so many lead-filled supplements he can’t process basic thoughts anymore.”
    “Sure am,” he said, which pissed her off even more. “And you are some cardio bunny that is too afraid to step up from her pretty Barbie weights because she will accidentally ‘bulk up.’”

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Rey's life is fine the way it is. She has a boring remote job, approximately one Internet friend named KyloRen, and the early morning yoga class she teaches at the local gym. It's not much, but it is her peaceful life. That is until meathead Ben Solo starts teaching a weightlifting class right above her yoga studio. The slamming weights and screamo music destroy the peace of Rey's morning yoga class. Rey and Ben get into a petty face off to defend their coveted time slot. But between arguing with each other and sabotaging each other's classes, the two find themselves growing closer.

    Summary

    Rey is done with the thankless, grueling work on Plutt's farm, and she surely has no desire to marry one of his foul business associates. She decides to escape to Chicago and start a new life, but to do that, she needs a horse.

    Ben Solo has kept to himself ever since his wife died nearly twenty years before. He prefers spending quiet days on his farm tending his crops and his animals. His peace is disturbed, however, when a pretty, young horse thief appears in his barn, badly injured.

    Anyone else would have shot the girl, but Solo senses there is more to her story.
