Ramón Montez always achieves his goals. Whether that means collecting Ivy League degrees or growing his father’s fast-food empire, nothing sets Ramón off course. So when the sexy señorita who kissed him on the Day of the Dead runs off into the night with his heart, he determines to do whatever it takes to find her again.

Enrique Montez, smooth-talking heir to the Taco King empire, is man enough to admit that he made a critical error when he underestimated Carolina Flores. The agricultural hotshot should have been an easy conquest—who would turn down the chance to partner with California’s largest fast-food chain? But instead of signing her name on the dotted line, Carolina has Enrique eating out of the palm of her hand, and when fate steps in with an unexpected opportunity, Enrique is willing to do whatever it takes to capture her heart.

I don't recognize the damaged woman in the mirror staring back at me: platinum-blond hair, blood-red lips and nails, curves laced up in the finest lingerie. I have transformed into a bombshell to exonerate my brother, United States Navy SEAL Joaquín Cruz. He's been languishing in a jail cell for the past six months, accused of a murder he didn't commit, his honorable career as a SEAL ruined, his spirit crushed.

I f--ked a SEAL - the human kind, the kind who shoots terrorists, sports rock hard abs and tattooed biceps, and scores an easy lay with every girl he ever wants. I should've known better. I should be studying harbor seals' native habits, not conducting my own research into mating rituals of the Navy variety. He's a jackass. An arrogant, womanizing, patronizing, Harley-riding jerk.

Six shots of rum I had the night I was violated. Five months I hid so no one would discover my secret. Four times I visited Grant in the hospital to attempt to tell him the truth.

Zero chance he can run now that I've discovered his identity

Preston Evans is a legend in and out of the bedroom. He’s six-foot-two, gorgeous, and famous because his celebrity ex snapchatted his huge package. I hate him.

I'll be honest with you - I'm no hero. Sure, the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There's even a line in one of our cadences: "Superman is the man of steel, he ain't no match for Navy SEAL." You've seen the movies - we're indestructible, invincible. But that night, the one you read about in the papers…all I really wanted to do was get laid.

Once a year, the Blue Angels perform for Fleet Week in my hometown of San Francisco. As a key influencer, I’ve been chosen to fly with a Blue Angel. My heart leaps out of my chest when I meet Sawyer “Huck” Roberts, and it isn’t from the G-Force. This Blue Devil has a girl in every city.

For 12 weeks every year, the Blue Angels land in El Centro, California. The residents treat the pilots like gods. Everyone worships them - everyone, that is, except for me. I hate the way they waltz into my poor town and romance all the residents only to vanish into the sky. But even I can’t afford to say no when I’m offered the chance to be the nanny for sexy, cocky pilot Beckett Daly’s baby girl, Sky. With El Centro’s high unemployment rate, this job is my only hope to feed my family and maybe one day leave this town.
