Paul H. St. Pierre

This story takes place in San Sebastian de Hidalgo, a Mexican village with a name longer than its main street. It is a story of death and flowers, love, good fun, pride and poverty, all of it set to music in a country that is more grand opera than a nation.

When twenty-year-old PR exec Kasey Braddock accepts her coworkers' dare to hit on the gorgeous new landscaper, she's excited. Finally here's her chance to prove to her friends—and herself—that she's woman enough to entice a man and leave him drooling. After all, she's old enough to know what she wants—and she wants Sam Ashton...badly.And Sam is more than willing to be wanted. The chemistry between them is powerful, explosive. Still, there's something vaguely familiar about Kasey, something Sam can't put his finger on—although he's dying to get his hands all over her.... But he's not worried. He fully intends to enjoy uncovering all Kasey's secrets, one by one. But will the truth be too hot for him to handle?
