Summer has never had a home.
At nineteen years old, she's spent her entire life surviving-living on bread and water, learning that affection hurts, and believing that needing people is dangerous. When she's abandoned with nowhere to go, the last person she expects to help her is Dean Di Laurentis.
What starts as a temporary arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Between late-night panic attacks, first hugs, comfort items, and a found family she doesn't quite know what to do with, Summer slowly learns what safety feels like for the first time in her life.
As she begins to regress into a younger headspace she never knew existed, Dean and the Off Campus boys find themselves diving headfirst into research, panic-buying stuffies, blankets, deco pacifiers, and enough comfort items to fill an entire room.
But healing isn't easy when you've never been loved before.
With Garrett, Logan, Tucker, and one very overprotective Dean at her side, Summer discovers that maybe home isn't a place at all.
Maybe it's the people who refuse to let you face the world alone.
A soft, found-family caregiver story set in the Off Campus universe featuring age regression, comfort, healing, protective hockey boys, cool-aunt Allie energy, jealous rivals, and enough stuffed animals to start a small army.
