Beginning Fate by Julie Trettel

Denny doesn’t want to grow up or ever leave the comfort and safety of Archibald Reynolds College. It’s his home and there’s no place else he’d rather be.
in contrast, Lauren was forced to grow up quickly. The majority of her life she has been the sole caretaker and protector for her deaf sister.
Now her sister is all grown up and off to Archibald Reynolds College.

Lauren has no idea what her future may hold, but it certainly isn’t the sexy, flirtatious tour guide they’re assigned at orientation who just happens to be her one true mate.
