Overview
Benji Rivers has spent years trying to outrun the night that broke his family apart.
His mother's betrayal left scars he doesn't talk about, and the father he finally found isn't the hero he imagined. Starting over in a new town is supposed to give him distance - a chance to start over, stay quiet, stay small, and keep the past from catching up.
But secrets don't stay hidden just because you do.
Camelia Higgins isn't looking for him. She's grieving a father she barely knew, trying to understand a mother whose suffocating protectiveness feels like fear, and carrying a loneliness she can't explain. Benji is the last person she should fall in love with - and the last person her mother wants anywhere near her.
Yet fate doesn't play by the rules.
It brought them together long before they had a say. Even if neither of them understands why.
As their connection deepens, the fragile life Benji is trying to build begins to crack, and the truth he's been hiding threatens to destroy everything he's fought so hard to leave behind - including the chance to be someone different than the boy the world thinks he is.
When the past resurfaces and the lies he lives with start to unravel, Benji must decide whether protecting the secret that has defined him is worth losing the future he's finally starting to want - and the girl who might be the first person to truly understand him.
Fixing Benji is a tender, gripping novel about trauma, betrayal, identity, and the unexpected ways fate chooses to free us. Book II in the Rivers Family Saga, it continues the story begun in Becoming Shiawassee - exploring the weight of buried truth, the ache of family wounds, and the courage it takes to stop running.
