After getting matching tattoos with Thomas Brag, a member of YesTheory on YouTube, Eleanor Wilde has lived her life by two simple words: Seek Discomfort. She's always looking for something to do that's way out of her comfort zone, such as asking complete strangers to go on road trips with her across the United States or spending a day in New York with no money. She lives for adventures.
Pascal Doran is the very opposite of Eleanor. He's shy, quiet, and likes to stay away from the crowd. Doing anything out of his comfort zone is a big "no thanks." He doesn't like to get out much, but when he does, he likes to stay somewhere away from a lot of people, like a small cafe or a park.
But when Eleanor spots Pascal at a local coffee shop in California and asks him to go on a spontaneous adventure with her, he surprisingly agrees. Maybe it's the fact that Eleanor is the first person to take interest in him, or maybe it's the fact that he hasn't had a real friend in years, either way, Pascal was tired of the way he was living and wanted to change.
Will Pascal regret his decision? Or will this change his life?

But living with an arrogant, handsome stranger might be harder than she expected. ____________________ I had my back turned to him, so I couldn't see his expression. But his breathing was heavy and hot against my skin. He placed hard kisses on my back with his hand wrapped around my stomach to hold me in place. I gasped at the warmth of his kisses. "Why do you own something like this?" He asked coldly. "I-I bought it for a date," I stuttered out. A small bite on my back made me shoot up with a small yelp. "You were going to wear this for some other guy?" Damien's voice dripped with jealousy. "And what if I was?" I mocked, indulging in the stinging I felt where his lips touched. "Then you need to be punished," he said in a low voice. MATURE: Depictions of sex, violence, and profanity #1 in Books #1 in Cute #1 in Comedy #1 in Funny #2 in Hot #4 in Love #5 in DramaComplete
