Reva Zamora is a hot-blooded Latino woman whose blood runs cool these days thanks to a past relationship she had the sense to run away from--in the middle of the night with a body full of bruises.

Back home near her family, her new job and quaint little house take her mind off the past and she delves into both full force. When a hot neighbor and his kid end up in her back yard, she should be scared but somehow they fit. In more ways than she’s ready for. The employee that wants to make her pay for imagined grievances doesn’t.

Past issues make it difficult for her to know the best way to handle it and not get burned. Or beaten. She has no idea his thoughts have gone a lot farther than she feared.

Todd thinks the backyard neighbor and her family are an amazing mix of crazy and cute. He’s had the serious relationship, now he just want to –not be serious. Unfortunately, not being serious with Reva is a seriously dangerous thing to do.
