Blurb: Join award winning author Jennifer Raines in this story combining heat with heart, as two gentle souls find a champion in each other until their love is threatened by promises they made. With her father injured at work, Beatriz Gomez willingly shoulders the financial responsibility for her family. Now, bills are mounting, a colleague stole her ideas to win the promotion she desperately needs, and her sisters blame her for everything. Bea needs time out, so moves into her best friend’s temporarily empty apartment. Then Casildo, a professional acquaintance, walks in the door. He’s outraged on her behalf, and that’s … a lovely surprise. But Beatriz has promised to go home. Casildo Hariri knows this is his last chance. He’s earmarked every second and every cent in the next few months to launching his long-dreamed of textile design company. So, he doesn’t have time for the luscious, talented, unavailable Beatriz who’s in residence at the apartment he thought was empty. Except she’s been wronged. Someone needs to encourage her to rebel, and he’s on the spot. After all, the apartment has two bedrooms, although it doesn’t take long to discover one is more than enough. To his secret delight, Beatriz champions his dreams. That’s before she detonates them by telling him why she has to go home. When Beatriz is cheated out of a job she deserves, Casildo encourages her to rebel, until she breaks the rules by breaking his heart. Can they find a way together while pursuing separate dreams? Excerpt Beatriz cursed fate, Anna, Hunter, her parents, her sisters, and lastly, herself. She’d had a crush on Casildo Hariri since she’d first met him at a loud, crowded marketing industry function. A few weeks into her job, and he’d gone out of his way to make her feel welcome and included. He didn’t jostle for attention, but had an innate authority, a sense of certainty about who and what he was. A crush she’d ruthlessly wrestled into professional camaraderie, especially after her father’s accident two years ago. Thank heavens they didn’t work for the same company. Casildo in small doses was manageable. In his old jeans, washed-out sweater and hair, longer-than-usual, brushing his shoulders, he made her mouth water. He was more attractive than in his work outfit of chinos and linen shirts, more tempting even than he’d been in his tuxedo at Anna and Hunter’s wedding. She pulled her kaftan over her head and changed into jeans and a cardigan set. Work casual, rather than her lounge-about-around home clothes. Then she tugged on the socks and short boots she’d arrived in. Camouflage, but necessary camouflage for a conversation she had to win. When she emerged from Anna’s old bedroom, Casildo was in an armchair. His hair was tied back with some kind of leather thong, long enough to trail around the side of his neck. Bea had told herself looking was allowable, lust was forbidden, especially since he’d never looked at, said, or touched her in any way remotely unprofessional. Friendly? Yes. Sleazy? No. Interested? Once upon a time she’d wished. Right now he looked—chastened? Cautious? Good. He’d disturbed her peace. She’d been enjoying her new-found freedom, enjoying having a whole sofa to herself, rather than finding it full of sisters who’d become demanding witches while her back was turned, blaming her for losing a promotion she deserved.
