Miranda had settled. She settled for routine, settled for comfort, and settled for the kind of love that made no waves. Then she met Ben. Ben is magnetic, frustrating, and unapologetically dominant. From the moment he walked into her life, he showed Miranda a kind of passionate, exhilarating, and spicy relationship she only thought existed in fantasies. He challenges her, thrills her, and forces her to confront every safe boundary she ever built.

They were supposed to be forever. Miranda and Ben planned their lives around medical school, long nights studying, and a future spent saving lives together. But somewhere between exams, the crushing pressure of young adulthood, and one disastrous night-they fell apart. Now they're grown and meet again. He's a firefighter and her name is on hospitals. But maybe deep down they're still those two college students who bonded over dreams and textbooks. (One of the BenleyFicWriter friend's [Kelsey] dm'd me an idea and I let the story tell itself).
