Reeling from a series of betrayals, attorney Janelle Richards abandons her life in Minnesota to take a new job on the Texas/Mexico border.

Though the culture shock is intense, the new community seems promising-or it would if not for Javier Mercado, her boss's nephew. For some reason, he's decided Janelle is bad news and will stop at nothing to drive her away.

But when Javi's sister needs legal assistance, he's forced to squash his animosity for his family's sake. Javier begins to realize he badly misunderstood Janelle, and the woman he tried so hard to hate is actually intelligent, kind... and sexy.

Anger gives way to attraction, and then to passion, but the demons that torment Javier's and Janelle's history interfere. Can the Norteño musician and the güera he's coming to love ever trust each other enough to find their hearts' desire?

Bonus: In addition to the main novel, this book contains two bonus stories: "The Bridezilla's Best Friend" and "Verano Estupido."
