Breaking Ice (bxb)

When pain, fear and grief turn to peace, love and acceptance.

Some mornings, Caleb Sanders can't tell if he's awake or still trapped in his own panic. Then there's Benson Moore, a stranger with purple dinosaur slippers, who might be the first thing Caleb can't look away from.

Caleb is used to keeping people at a distance-controlling his world, hiding his feelings, surviving on routines and quiet habits. But Benson is loud, unafraid, and impossible to ignore. As Caleb navigates the chaos of college life, he begins to realize that some walls are meant to be tested, and some connections are impossible to avoid.

Now, as Benson slowly weaves himself into Caleb's carefully guarded life, Caleb must confront the parts of himself he's spent years hiding-and decide if he's ready to let someone in.
