The story begins with Sasha witnessing her friend get engaged. She's a little jealous, but her past has her living in fear of all men.
Forrest works on campus and finds Sasha to be interesting. Especially when she is trying to break into his house and gets stuck halfway in. There's a snow storm outside, so he tries to be a good host, but Sasha makes it clear that she's controlled by her fear.
Sasha has been raped. Apparently the man who did it is on campus and has no problems confronting her and asking her out. Forrest witnesses him talking to her and gets in a fight. Suspended from his job, he looks for Sasha.
And that's about where I quit. It may be a novella, but rape is a topic I do not like reading about. Knowing that the whole novella would center around the emotions and fear that Sasha's encounter created, I had no desire to keep going. The book description didn't mention this part and I wish it had. It would have saved me some time. Not for me.
