CRUZALEJO SERIES #1: NOT MY UNCLE

Sent to the province as punishment, nineteen-year-old Cassandra Montenegro expected boredom, mosquitoes, and maybe a goat or two.

She did not expect Calix Cruzalejo.

Her father's quiet, thirty-two-year-old friend is all rolled-up sleeves, calloused hands, and grumpy silences. He's also the man she's been ordered to live with for the next three months.

She calls him Tito Calix to annoy him. He calls her City Girl like it's an insult. It's fine. They're opposites. Nothing's happening.

Definitely. Absolutely. Probably.

It's just three months.
Just shared breakfasts, awkward eye contact, and one hammock nap that neither of them will mention again.

A spoiled brat. A quiet man. A house too small for the feelings they shouldn't be having.
