Bound Together

Seventeen-year-old Zoey needs an escape from some personal drama, like her momвЂTMs depression and taking care of her four younger siblings. She finds the perfect distraction in a frenemies-with-benefits arrangement with irritatingly hot football captain, Matt, during their class trip to Paris. ThereвЂTMs no chance of falling for someone whose only ambition in life is to stay in their hick town and one day take over his parentвЂTMs tire store. But far from home and personal responsibilities, his cocky grin and easy attitude start to grow on her as they explore the seductive city of Paris together. Once theyвЂTMre back at home, Zoey finds herself texting him for a secret rendezvous whenever she needs an escape. Though sheвЂTMs been explicitly clear sheвЂTMs using him for one thing, whenever Matt picks her up, he acts more like itвЂTMs a date-date rather than a backseat playdate –making sure she has eaten, or stopping to color with her little sister before they go out. Despite her best efforts at keeping their arrangement physical only, Zoey begins to realize – with fear and disgust – that sheвЂTMs falling for him. When things fall apart with her mom, letting Matt see her real life takes more courage than she has – but if sheвЂTMs brave enough to let him, he might be just the one person who can help.
