About the book

Diego Laremos had never forgotten the last night he'd spent with Melissa Sterling five years before. She'd fled their home after a bitter dispute, hoping to escape their unhappy marriage.

He hadn't forgiven her for leaving, though he'd hated himself even more for driving her away. Seeing Melissa again had renewed his hope for a possible future together...

Melissa had felt the same way, but she'd lied to Diego in the past. Now she had to prove to him that she was indeed his love–his ENAMORADA–and that the truth could set them both free...to love.
