I live in SoCal and was able to add reality to the drug trafficking book because of my proximity to the border. Plus, I wanted to write a beach book based on places I\u2019ve been around here.

Her parents\u2019 deaths left her with their mounds of debt, she can\u2019t get a job designing even a cubicle, and she\u2019s bunking in her best friend\u2019s spare bedroom. To make ends meet, she\u2019s a nanny to a lonely little boy whose rich father works all the time. Romance is not on her radar. But her hot new neighbor could change her mind, with his broad shoulders and Southern charm. Too bad his secrets could destroy her.DEA agent Sawyer Hayes came to California in search of a drug cartel leader who slipped through his fingers in El Paso.
