Jaci's just trying to survive his semester alone. No family to call, no friends to speak of, just his job at Wannabees grocery store and a dorm room that feels emptier every day.

Then there's Damien. Quiet, mysterious, with gray eyes like the moon. They work together, live in the same dorms, but barely speak. Until Damien shows up half-blind without his contacts, and Jaci can't just walk away.

What starts as a side quest to help a stubborn coworker turns into late-night texts, movie dates, and pumpkin carving under autumn skies. But when you're both running from broken pasts, can you really build a future together?
