    Summary

    Fresh from a toxic relationship that shattered her confidence, Ruby is barely holding herself together when Jihoon Lee walks into her classroom. He isn’t loud. He isn’t flirtatious. He’s just… kind. Steady. The kind of man who makes space instead of taking it. And in that space, Ruby begins to breathe again.

    But healing is never simple.

    As an old threat resurfaces and tries to drag Ruby back into fear, Jihoon does what he always does: he stays. Not to rescue her, but to stand beside her while she fights for herself. And in the middle of it all, two small children quietly decide that Ruby feels like home.
