Guapo pobrecito, her grandmother calls him. The âpoor handsome man.â
Professor Jeremiah Post, the poor handsome man, is in fact standing in the way of Alejandra âAlexâ Torres turning Lorettaâs, her grandmotherâs bar, into a viable business. The hot brainiac who sleeps in one of the upstairs tenant rooms already has all of her Mexican American familyâs admiration; she wonât let him have the bar and building she needs to resurrect her career, too.
Alex blowing into town has rocked Jeremiah to his mild-mannered core, but the large, boisterous Torres clan is everything he never had. He doesnât believe Alex has the best interest of her family, their community, or the barâs legacy in mind. To protect all three, heâll stand up to the tough and tattooed bartender with whom he now shares a bedroom wallâand resist the insta-lust they both feel.
But when an old enemy threatens Lorettaâs and the surrounding neighborhood, Alex and Jeremiah must combine forces. It will take her might and his mind to save the home they both desperately need.
