It's 0.99 pennies time!

He’s thirty-eight. I’m twenty-three.

He speaks Spanish. I speak English.

He lives in Spain. I live in Canada.

He dresses in thousand-dollar suits. I’m covered in tattoos.

He’s married and has a five-year old daughter. I’m single and can’t commit to anyone or

anything.

Until now.Because when they say you can’t choose who you fall in love with, boy ain’t

that the f*#king truth.

To a restless dreamer like Vera Miles, it sounded like the experience of a lifetime. Instead

of spending her summer interning for her astronomy major, she would fly to Spain where

she’d spend a few weeks teaching conversational English to businessmen and women, all

while enjoying free room and board at an isolated resort. But while Vera expected to get

a tan, meet new people and stuff herself with wine and paella, she never expected to fall

in love.

Mateo Casalles is unlike anyone Vera has ever known, let alone anyone she’s usually

attracted to. While Vera is a pierced and tatted free spirit with a love for music and

freedom, Mateo is a successful businessman from Madrid, all sharp suits and cocky

Latino charm. Yet, as the weeks go on, the two grow increasingly close and their

relationship changes from purely platonic to something...more.

Something that makes Vera feel alive for the first time.

Something that can never, ever be.

Or so she thinks.
