Sam Vernon:
I met the woman of my dreams but I should stay away from her. She's too young and naive for a man like me. I'm rough and hard, baked in the hot sun that I work under. She's soft and gentle with pale, delicate skin. A curious yet shy girl with a giggle that has me wrapped around her little finger.
She's also a client's daughter. I try to stay away but no matter where I go in town, she's there. And when she isn't? I miss her.
What do I do? The only thing I can do. Protect her at all costs. Even if it's from me. But little Liliana has some ideas of her own and I'm not sure I'll be able to keep running from her when my heart tells me that she's all I really need.
Liliana Sweet:
I live most of my life in books, content to dream my life away except when I'm studying. I pop up every once in awhile to make my parents happy.
I just celebrated my graduation and I'm home visiting, trying to decide what I want to do with my life.
The first time I see Sam, I realize what I've been waiting for. What I have needed forever. Him. But I don't know how to get what we both need when he tells me that I'm too young and I don't know what is best for me.
My friend comes up with a way to get his attention but when I see the anger mixed with hunger in his gray eyes, I'm not sure if I've gone too far with my schemes.
Now that I've got Sam, can I convince him that our love is the real and lasting kind? That we belong together. no matter what people say.
Whether they're construction workers, carpenters, roofers, plumbers, welders, mechanics, electricians, factory machinists, tow truck drivers, oil rig workers, or canoe builders, these blue-collar heroes all have two things in common:
They're good with their hands, and they're not afraid to get dirty. Really, really dirty.
