What could an ex-con running a program for troubled teens and a privileged debutante from New York City have in common? Tito and Caylee are about to find out, as things heat up in Miami. Convicted at 17 of drug and gang-related charges, Tito Martinez spent eight years in prison. Now he's out, and has made a fresh start running a non-profit diversion program taking kids out of the juvenile justice system to give them the chance he never had. Tito grew up poor, the son of a struggling single mom who was rejected by her wealthy high school boyfriend and disowned by her parents when she became pregnant with Tito and his twin sister. He has no patience for people who get everything handed to them on a silver platter, and the last person he ever thought he would be attracted to is a privileged debutante form New York City. Caylee Chandler grew up with plenty of wealth and privilege. But as the rebel of her staid NYC society family, she's never felt that she fit in. One year after law school she's bored to tears by her high-paying job at a New York securities law firm, where she spends long hours behind a desk all day, then has to thwart her mother's constant efforts to pair her up with "appropriate" eligible bachelors.

But part of her past isn't so easily brushed aside, and moving to Miami may not be far enough to escape a threat that's been giving her sleepless nights. When Tito and Caylee meet, an attraction neither of them was looking for catches them completely by surprise. Will the flames of opposites attract burn through their reluctance to let this be anything but a casual fling and keep them together? Or will the sparks fizzle out when reality sets in? This stand-alone contemporary romance is Book #4 - the final book - in the Miami Lawyers series.
