    Rey's one of the Filles de Roy (King's Daughters), a poor orphan sent to New France to marry and populate the colony. Against all odds, among all her suitors, she chooses Ben, a wild man living in the woods as a fur trader, who intrigued her more than anyone else.

    Summary

    Rey stays busy as a nanny, living and working (and paying off debt) at a fancy estate on Kingstree Island, SC. But one Sunday evening, free and a little bored, she crashes a wealthy neighbor's beach party. She enjoys the harmless outing until she catches the eye of an elite guest. Even then, a brief flirtation would only be a fun, unusual memory to take home with her... But he steps on a piece of glass on the beach, and Rey is too practical (and kind) to leave him to it. It's only when his arm is around her shoulders, and he asks her to help him hobble back to his house, that she realizes Ben is actually her absentee-employer. He is Adele's father, who she hasn't actually met yet, other than phone interviews.
    Ben is more amused than horrified that he accidentally hit on Adele's nanny. But he's done a lot of work on himself and he's determined to be both a better dad and a better person. He'll be professional with Rey. Except that he has to hide a lot more than an inconvenient attraction. She doesn't know she's the sole normie in a house currently housing two selkies, a cyclops, a werewolf, and a vampire.
    Ben tries, but how long can a selkie resist the instinct to give his heart away?

    Summary

    Seventeen-year-old Rey Niima moves to the small mountain town of Red Hollow, West Virginia, after losing both her parents and being forced to live with her hostile stepfather, Unker. Trying to survive her junior year unnoticed, Rey becomes fast friends with Rose Tico—one of the only bright spots in her new life.

    But everything changes the day she bumps into Mr. Solo, the school’s strict, intimidating, and undeniably magnetic history teacher. He is cold, unreadable, and surrounded by rumors—and yet Rey senses something else beneath the surface.

    As a string of murders spreads fear through the town—each victim a teenage girl who looks eerily similar to Rey—strange things begin happening in the forests that border Red Hollow. Mr. Solo seems to know far more than he should. He watches Rey, protects her, avoids her… and is haunted by something he refuses to name.

    Drawn into a world of danger, secrecy, and forbidden connection, Rey begins to wonder:
    Is Mr. Solo the only one who can save her—
    or the one she should be running from?

    Summary

    “There’s no shame in it, by the way,” Ben murmurs over his shoulder, the barest hit of teasing creeping back in along the edges of his low voice. An unmistakable downward dip of his eyes that she does not understand nor wish to analyse.

    “What?” Rey mutters quietly, feeling as though all the fight has left her mind and body.

    “Not knowing certain things… and needing a teacher.”

     

    (In which Rey tries to navigate her new life on the Resistance’s base while the newly-defected Ben Solo makes himself the bane of her existence)
