Dean Carter

Bound to you - Christina Aguilera _______ Everyone knows Seraphina Vale. At twenty-three, she's one of the biggest singers in the world. Millions scream her name, every stadium sells out, and everything she touches turns to gold. Nobody knows she wants it all to stop. Dean Carter couldn't care less about fame. He's perfectly happy working at his family's garage and restoring the '67 Impala he plans to take across Route 66. They were never supposed to meet. But one wrong decision, one unexpected encounter, and one mistake neither of them can take back binds their lives together in a way neither saw coming. She belongs to a world that refuses to let her go. He belongs to a life she never knew she could have. And somewhere between flashing cameras, open roads and secrets that could destroy them both, Seraphina and Dean will have to decide whether some chains are meant to be broken— and whether others are worth holding on to. _____ Dean Carter is a 25-year-old mechanic who works at his family’s auto repair shop. Grounded, loyal, and hardworking, he prefers grease-covered hands and quiet evenings in the garage over anything glamorous. In his free time, he restores his beloved 1967 Chevrolet Impala, dreaming of one day driving it across Route 66. Dean lives a simple, ordinary life—and he’s perfectly happy with that. Until Seraphina Vale unexpectedly crashes into it.
