Deputy Sergio Desoto made a deathbed promise to his brother to always look after his wife, Salome - or Sal, as the whole Desert Springs police department affectionately calls her. Everybody loves Sal, including Sergio who has secretly been in love with her for years, though his honor and integrity have never allowed him to pursue her.

He despairs of ever being able to keep the lovely nurse safe from a vengeful drug cartel that will stop at nothing in their quest to turn him into a dirty cop on their payroll. So he comes up with a plan to send Sal and his six-year-old son into hiding until he can resolve the escalating threats to their lives once and for all.

But Sal has other ideas. She's proud to be a Desoto, and she doesn't believe running is the answer. If she refuses to go into hiding, however, Sergio will have to deal with something far more daunting than the crosshairs of a hitman. He'll finally have to face his feelings for her!All Rights Reserved

Maria Martinez thought it was a dream come true when Ritchie Perez - a sweet and sexy guy she met volunteering at a soup kitchen - took her delinquent little brother Joey under his wing. But her dream becomes a nightmare when she discovers Ritchie is the same man who put her twin brother Tito in prison for 10 years. Now Joey's in trouble, and Ritchie's been appointed his temporary guardian. He'll be moving into Ritchie's luxurious waterfront Miami home - unless he'd prefer a juvenile detention facility. And if Maria wants to be with him, she'll be moving in too. Now a hugely successful attorney in private practice, Ritchie made his reputation as a tough prosecutor who didn't make deals with drug dealers and gang members. But that history comes back to haunt him when the woman he's falling for believes he's responsible for convicting an innocent man, and destroying her family. Ritchie wants to stop Joey from making the same mistakes his brother did. And he wants Maria in his bed. But as desire heats their blood, will the past reach out and destroy their future?
