    Summary

    Excerpt: It was Rey, the fostered neighbor kid that had run loose all over Luke’s land once upon a time; the one that had pestered him to play or go swimming back when he’d spent his summers out here in the sticks.

    Once again memory pulled Ben under: chasing her into the pond, splash, cool green all around him, her legs flitting by as she swam away. Rey, her lip cut. Rey, spitting watermelon seeds with his dad- every summer, Rey.

    She’d grown up well. The years that had kicked Ben from one side of the world to the other had been a hell of a lot kinder to Rey. She was in scuffed boots and jeans that had been washed soft and broken in to cradle her legs (when had they gotten so long?) gently. She was in a worn t-shirt, and the once-shoulder length hair she’d sported as a teen had grown out into a braid that was resting over one shoulder.

    “Oh, she said, casually as anything, as if she hadn’t just angrily barged into private property. “Hey, Ben.”

    Summary

    Luke Skywalker has two main rules for his coven: 1) keep magic secret, and 2) no mortal/witch relations.

    When witch Rey Niima performs magic in the presence of her mortal neighbor Kylo Ren she worries she’s broken the first rule and put the whole coven at risk. The second rule, she’s been daydreaming about breaking for months. She can’t help it when Kylo is so hot and nerdy and utterly endearing!

    With one rule potentially broke, what’s one more?

    Summary

    Rey drifts her hand up to his face. Her thumb brushes the scar bisecting it.

    “Beautiful,” she whispers, almost to herself, and Ben realises he is lost; tumbling away to infinity with only this girl and their sins.

    ---


    In which Ben, the reluctant Duke of Alderaan, cannot get the clever, beautiful, opinionated governess out of his head.

    Summary

    COMPLETE.

    In the months since Crait, they’ve run to and away from one another.
    What do you call a game of chase when both people are the hunters?
    When deep down, both want to get caught?
     
    EXCERPT:

    “Always running, little Jedi?” he panted hot in her ear, the leather of his glove creaking under her jaw. She froze, lips parting with her hitched breath. “I finally have you,” he said, equal parts smug and awestruck.

    A few steps forward to the wall, and she had to throw out her palms to brace herself on the cold stone. His firm heat behind her shifted, thighs pushing into the back of hers as he held her tight.

    “You like to run,” he whispered as his long nose brushed through her hair, “but maybe you also like to be caught.”

    Summary

    Rey’s hands slide down to her stomach—still flat; at least, still flat to a perfect stranger who doesn’t know what she looks like when she isn’t nine weeks pregnant. She gives her tummy a meaningful pat with both hands, and looks her new roommate in the eye, hoping he gets her meaning without her having to spell it out for him.

    (Or: When Rey Johnson goes looking for a new roommate, the last thing she expects to find is Ben Solo.)
