The duty of a starter boyfriend is not to fall in love."Zoe Rayne is happy. She's making a name for herself at work, has found peace and acceptance of her body, and has become a role model for Paige, a girl she was paired with in the Big Sister, Little Sister program. Although some people think she'd be happier if she were dating, Zoe is determined to stand by her belief that you don't need a man to complete your life."Kissing, cuddling, and engaging in other sexual activities must be consensual."When Colton Philips is presented with the starter boyfriend contract, he doesn't think much of it. As he sees it, the agreement along with his thriving landscaping business are just the distractions he needs while waiting for his ex-fiancee to return and marry him. Never mind that it's been two years since she left him at the altar and ran away to Paris with their dog."The starter boyfriend will consider kissing Ms. Rayne should he feel so inclined."For both Zoe and Colton, the contract is just one big, laughable joke. The whimsy of a twelve-year-old and a sister eager to see the people they care for most find love. They can't deny it when sparks begin to fly, but is Colton in a place to accept new love and how long is Zoe willing to wait?. --Provided by publisher.
