"He's the universe's biggest asshole. Im its most broken mistake. But I need him. And maybe..he needs someone to believe in him too." Carina Belle Wilson is half-human, half-drellixians (alien) and a walking weapon she doesn't fully understand. Cursed, in pain, hunted and losing control, she flees the only home she's ever known in search of the one man who might understand chaos better than anyone: Rick Sanchez. But Rick doesn't do charity. Especially not for people with feelings and tragic backstories. With nowhere to run and nothing left to lose, Carina must convince the galaxy's most uncooperative genius to help fix her... while battling the ghosts of her past-and the strange bond growing between them. But here's the real problem: She can feel intent. Every buried impulse, every contradiction behind a lie. And Rick's words never match what's inside him.He's hiding something. Something massive. Something her father ran from. Something Carina was never supposed to find out. She thought it was just some bitter falling out between old friends. But maybe, it was always about her. Now the question is: What's more dangerous? The power she's learning to wield... or the man she's starting to trust? Or perhaps...the things she finds along the way about herself. #RickSanchez #LegalAgeGap #FemaleOC #Angstlove #Agegap #Love/hate #Sci-fi #slowburn #soulmate #smut
