Waylaid — Jill Penrod

Cherokee Jones isn't a big fan of college student and horseman extraordinaire Matt Tucker, but since they work on the same ranch this summer, he's stuck with him. But maybe it's not Matt Kee dislikes; maybe it's that Matt reminds him of the reason he's living in a cabin at the corner of a horse ranch all alone, and he doesn't need any more reminders of his mistakes and secrets. When he's hurt at work, he finds himself kidnapped into Matt's life, which is filled with people and chaos and everything Kee is running from. Between Matt's over-the-top care, Matt's roommates' scary insights, and the clueless college girl who keeps showing up at the farm and sharing her secrets, Kee feels trapped. The more he pushes them all away, the more tangled he gets in their lives, and that just leads to humiliation and anger. But it looks like God might want something from Kee, and if God is after him, there's really no place he can hide.Waylaid is book eight in the Boys of Summer series, romance and drama for Christian teens and the young at heart.
