Summary
Valerie Stark has spent her whole life building things between prosthetics, biometrics, and the tech that keeps the people she loves alive one more day. Safe for one more day. She's good at fixing what's broken. She's less good at admitting when she's the one falling apart.
Peter Parker was supposed to be easy, easy to understand, easy to ignore, a lab partner, and someone to bicker with over blueprints at 2am. He wasn't supposed to become the person she can't stop thinking about. Someone who seems to be hiding something from her.
Between an overprotective father who'd rather lock her in a bunker than let her near a fight, a best friend who has no idea she's falling for her ex, and a boy who runs the second things get real, Val is starting to think love might be more dangerous than anything she's ever built.
Slow burn. Friends to lovers. A lot of angst before the comfort.
