When Esmeralda Salinas left her childhood home, she left behind
the judgmental lectures and cold, unaffectionate parents who never found her
good enough to compete with her brother Beto. Esme fashions herself into her
own woman, and refuses to let others dictate her behavior or her dreams. After
a love affair goes wrong in Rose Creek, Texas, she packs up her horse and moves
to even tinier Truth, Texas.
When Esme finds herself singing country karaoke in her aunt’s bar,
she can deal with that. But when Tía demands that Esme consider a job offer
from devastatingly sexy Rafael Benton, Esme realizes that the small town of
Truth might harbor some horrific lies revolving around Rafael and his recently
deceased sister Cody, who had reached the pinnacle of the country music season
only to crash and burn.
Still, Esme listens to Rafael’s sales pitch and can’t believe what
he offers: almost a quarter million dollars to marry him for the summer.
Rafael talks a good game, and Esme knows she could enjoy the
benefits of marriage to him, with or without the formalities and pre-nuptials
and pretense. But sleeping with a man for the thrill is one thing. Marrying him
for money is another. Can she accept a job that would make her rich but might
destroy all she holds sacred?
Author
and educator Leslie P. Garcia spent much of her childhood moving from one state
to another with her six siblings. She
thought her family had settled in rural Georgia permanently, and had big plans
for the roadside amusement park she and her brothers and sisters created
in the middle of nowhere, but when her
parents moved once again, she oversaw dispersal of the animals and went west
again.
After
a stint in the hill country, she married and moved to south Texas, where she
has been for the last 30 or so years of her life, surrounded by a large family
and annoying animals.
Love
of family and animals make appearances in many of her works, including her
current titles with Crimson Romance, His Temporary Wife, Wildflower Redemption,
Unattainable, and Take Me Out.
