Can a sexy Hispanic action movie star find
himself in the BWCA of upper Minnesota
When the famous
action movie star Raul Roderick needs to “clean-up” for a major role that even
he doubts he can deliver, the director sends him up to a resort owned by his grandmother
in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of upper Minnesota, to learn to commune with
nature. His guide is Veronica, the
director's cousin, a tall, athletic woman who has the relaxed, sensible nature
of someone who knows herself well.
Raul hasn't been
this far from his reliable drug-dealers for a very long time, and dealing with
real-life is something he's never been very good at. His initial clumsy attempt
to seduce her makes her laugh...so he calls her fat. Is there any hope that
their relationship will progress beyond its rocky start? And can Raul overcome
his partying nature to discover what is really important in life?
Warning: This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it
contains adult sexual situations (including a f/f/m ménage scene/scenes in the
first chapter) and/or adult language, and may be considered offensive to some

Teaser Excerpt:
The famous movie actor tries to seduce
the local gal after being given some rules he has to follow while living at her
Grandmother's resort in a cabin.
She stopped and leaned back against the wall
to point at the lake.
"See
how pretty the sun looks when it bounces off the...hey! What are you doing?"
Raul
had caught up to her then done what he always did...tried to kiss the pretty
girl. Only this pretty girl turned her
head then moved so that he ended up hitting his face on the wall. He looked at her, aggrieved.
"I
was trying to kiss you. What else?"
"Why?"
He
was taken aback. "Uh, because
you're pretty? And because I figured
that's why you invited me out here away from that nagging old bag..."
Veronica's
hand shot out and slapped him across the face.
"What
was that for?" He rubbed the sore
spot that proved it wasn't just her legs that were in good shape.
She
advanced on him, her eyes narrowed, "Don't you ever call my
grandmother an old bag again!
Don't you even think it! You are
a conceited pompous jerk with an ego the size of an elephant! Though I can't for the life of me see what
you are so proud of...a string of lousy movies that consisted of you taking off
your shirt early and often? Dialogue
that sounded like it was written by a love-struck twelve-year-old? I have no idea what Jared sees in you, but
whatever it is, it must be buried pretty deep!"
He
retaliated, "Until you got all high and mighty I was willing to overlook
the fact that you look like you eat more of your own pie than you should, and
you people up here obviously have no idea that there might be any benefit to
using makeup. I was willing to lower my
standards to throw you a bone...my bone to be exact. Who knows if you'll ever get another chance
to take a famous movie star into your bed?
But if you're going to be all nasty and stuff, then forget it."
Veronica
giggled, which grew to guffawing and continued until there were tears in her
eyes. He stared at her, his anger
beginning to fade as her infectious laughter made him smile.
"What's
so funny?" He demanded when she
stopped for a breath.
"You! You actually thought I wanted you to kiss
me? You really thought I was so hard up
to get laid that I'd even consider a spoiled, out-of-shape, drunken drug-addict
like you?"
He
stopped smiling.
"You've
probably got more venereal diseases than I can even name! You've been linked to every female you've
ever made a movie with! I think you
should just be honest about things and make porn, but since the money's better
where you are, you're smart to ride the gravy train while you still have your
good looks. Lord only knows that won't
be much longer, as hard as you are working on killing yourself."
He
glared at her, "Are you done yet?"
She
nodded, "Uh-huh. I think that about
says it all."
"Why
did you people agree to put me up if I'm such an asshole?"
Veronica
shrugged, "We love Jared and he asked for a favor. He's making a movie about Gram-Marie's late
husband's great-grandfather. Jared used to love the stories Grampa would tell
about his family and the early days back when old Hank Maynard was founding the
city of Grand Marais ."
She
picked up a stone and tossed it into the lake, making it skip three times
before it dropped into the water.
"Besides,
we had no idea you'd be so difficult to get along with. Jared told us to not let you drive and Jake
is excited about the big pile of money Jared is going to pay him when he gets
here, for driving your ungrateful ass into town so you can get drunk enough
every night to pass out."
She
stared into his face, multiple emotions raging there as he tried to formulate a
reply to her accusations.
"You
know," she added conversationally, "We do have beer and wine in the
dining room. You could be a nice guy and
give Jake the occasional night off and just take what you need and drink
yourself into a stupor in your cabin...or out by the lake. Unless, of course, you are partial to older
women who hang around in the bars in town hoping to get laid. In which case, have at it."
