    Summary

    Rey hates vampires.

    Ben is a vampire.

    Ergo, Rey hates Ben.

    (This is going to go exactly the way you think.)

    ---

    “Don’t move,” Rey commands. She lifts a shaking hand and traces the curve of his nose with her index finger, leaving just a fraction of space between their skin. He’s still just staring at her, his eyes wide, and she swallows thickly. “Don’t move at all. Okay, Ben? Don’t scare me.”

    She steels herself and presses the pad of her thumb against his mouth.

    Summary

    “This string. Don’t you feel it?” Ben brings his fist up to press against the side of his head, like he’s holding his skull together. “Ever since that day, ever since you reached into my head, there’s been this thread connecting us. I hear the music playing in your headphones. I feel your presence in the city. I dream your dreams.”

    ---

    Since Rey was a child, she has known how to read and influence other people’s thoughts—but not how to stop.

    When she exerts her control upon unsuspecting museum go-ers to relieve them of their spare cash, she ends up trying to pick the wrong man’s pocket.

    She can’t influence his mind.

    And he can’t influence hers.

    Summary

    “Ben, right?” said the man leaning against the counter, a glass of wine in his hand. He looked a little older than Luke in the face, even though his silver-shot hair was still quite full and dark. There was a softer give to his features; none of the malice Ben had seen in Luke’s eyes was present on this man’s face.

    The man waited until Ben gave a tiny nod before continuing. “I’m Din. Amilyn Holdo told you about the therapy requirements for your stay before you arrived, I assume?” His voice was soft, measured. Disconcertingly neutral.

    Ben nodded again.

    “I’m the therapist,” Din said with a little smile, seeming to realize that Ben had no context for this man’s presence at the ranch. “And Luke’s husband. We own the ranch.”

    ---

    Ben has been running from himself his whole life. When he finally hits rock bottom, Ben is enrolled against his will in an equine therapy program run by a man who seems to hate Ben just as much as Ben hates himself. But can seven weeks with a pretty horse trainer at a lonely ranch in the middle of the Nevada desert fix Ben's broken heart?

    Summary

    “…so, no, Ben Solo, unless you want to marry me, there’s nothing—NOTHING—you can do to help my situation!” Rey screamed from the top of her lungs.

    She turned roughly away when she felt a stray tear roll down her cheek. God damn it. It was so mortifying. Of all the people in San Francisco she could break down in front of, it had to be Ben-fucking-Solo. She took a few steps backwards, intending to spin around and run away before she could embarrass herself any further, but a large hand wrapped around her wrist before she could.

    “Wait.” He didn’t say any more for a second. He only looked at her, his eyebrows drawing minutely together, as if he was puzzling through a stubborn bug, an impossible problem.

    Then, just as Rey was about to shake his hand loose, she heard him ask, “Do you want to?”

    UK borne Rey Unkar thought she finally found a home in Silicon Valley: she has close friends that love her, a great career at Resistance Labs, a vacation to Puerto Rico in the plans, and even an online friend who she can nerd out with on all things C++. Then, her H-1B extension gets denied and she has 10 days before she is required to leave the U.S.

    Summary

    It was his one, mandatory condition.

    She’d almost laughed in his face at their interview, when he’d looked in her eyes and said it aloud.

    But he was serious. Deadly serious.

    And she was poor. Deadly so.

    Who was she to turn up free rent?

    When her best friend, Finn, moves across the country with his boyfriend, Poe, to chase his major league dreams, Rey Johnson's life falls apart.

    In the span of a few weeks, she loses her job, her apartment, and, apparently, her sanity, because in desperation she agrees to be a maid for rich, asshole lawyer, Kylo Ren.

    A maid, among other things...
