WHAT HE'S HOPING FOR IS A MIRACLE YEAR THAT WILL LAND HIM A SLOT IN THE HIGH MINOR LEAGUES BACK IN THE U.S. BUT ONCE THE DARK-HUED JAROCHA BEAUTY WRAPS HIM IN HER ARMS AND HER WEALTHY FATHER WELCOMES HIM INTO THE FAMILY, RICHARDS COMES FACE TO FACE WITH MEXICAN HOSPITALITY. HIS SISTER IS KIDNAPPED WHILE VACATIONING IN ACAPULCO, AND WHEN HER RESCUE OCCURS, DEADLY ZETA KILLERS WANT REVENGE...A TURN OF EVENTS THAT NOT ONLY DEFINE RICHARDS' FUTURE BUT THE LIVES OF OTHERS SUDDENLY CAUGHT UP IN A WEB OF EXTORTION AND ROMANCE THAT WEAVES FROM MEXICO TO CALIFORNIA, CREATING DRAMATIC LIFE TWISTS IN ITS WAKE.
