Book excerpt: A flamenco dancer in disguise and a driven diner owner fighting his own desires. What could possible go wrong? Her dream was to become a celebrated entertainer. So, how did Josefina de Zapatero end up with the life of a sporting lady? Determined to escape a repulsive past and oppressive future, her salvation appears in the form of a mail order bride request for a domesticated cook. The fact that she can barely boil water shouldn't matter too much, though. She has learned to dance circles around her competition. Surely, she can cook up something to please the man. Right? Having suffered a life of lies and loss, Ignacio Villanueva has learned the importance of making wise choices. He's determined to find an upstanding woman who will be the helpmate he needs to make his restaurant successful. Honesty and the ability to cook well. That's all any man really needs. Isn't it? It's a match of stubborn wills and unexpected thrills when the two of them pair up. Will the new menu at Noelle's favorite Mexican restaurant include a marriage meal made for two... or a recipe for disaster?
