While trying to fulfill his dream of being a published author, Isaac works at a bookshop and tries to heal from the broken heart that his ex left him with.

Sean is a supermodel working for his famous father. After being saved from a mugger, Sean asks his freckled angel out on a date. Being caught by paparazzi, Sean’s father forces his son to date Isaac for the publicity, in return for his freedom after the Autumn Fashion Show.

Isaac struggles with the attention, and Sean’s guilt at using him threatens to tear them apart.

“I’m…kind of in a contract, with my dad. But he's willing to end the contract early, so for the first time I’m actually able to think of what else I want to do with my life.”

Isaac nodded. “That’s exciting and terrifying.”

It would be better with Isaac at his side, Sean thought, but once he was free, he didn’t know if he’d be able to look Isaac in the eye.

Bookworms and Runways

	Isaac had to admit, he wasn’t expecting Sean’s explanation to be anything like that. “You’re trying to get out of your conservatorship so you can access your own money?” 


	“Yes,” Sean said. “It would mean I’d be free from my father. I could live my life the way I want to.”


	Isaac tried to wrap his mind around it. On some level, he understood why Sean had used him like that. Being trapped in a world he didn’t want to be in had to be hard, and Isaac had picked up enough clues about Eric Winters to never want to meet the man. 


	But he couldn’t forgive Sean for taking advantage of him and leading him on, either. 


	“Thank you for telling me,” Isaac said. “But I’m still mad at you.”


	Sean shut his eyes. “That’s fair. I…apparently could have gone about this whole thing differently and been honest from the beginning. It would have saved both of us a lot of heartache if I had.”
