A gangster hiding from his past. A single mom fighting for her future. Can she show this bad boy the man he\u2019s meant to be?<\/p>\n

\u201cMia Hopkins is an imaginative author who doesn\u2019t take the easy road to a formulaic book.\u201d\u2014USA Today\u2019s<\/i> Happy Ever After blog<\/b><\/p>\n

My name is Salvador Rosas. Back in the barrio<\/i>, my past is written on the walls: ESHB<\/i>. Short for East Side Hollenbeck, my father\u2019s gang\u2014my gang. Hell, it\u2019s a family tradition, one that sent both my brothers away. They used to call me \u201cGhost\u201d because I haunted people\u2019s dreams. Now I\u2019ve got nothing going for me except a hipster gringo mentoring me in a new career. An ex-con making craft beer? No mames.<\/i><\/p>\n

Still, people in this neighborhood look out for one another. That\u2019s how I became Vanessa Velasco\u2019s unwelcome tenant. Chiquita pero picosa.<\/i> She\u2019s little, but with curves so sweet they\u2019re dangerous. I remember Vanessa from the old days, the straight-A student with big plans. Plans that were derailed by another kid stupid enough to think he was bulletproof. Now Vanessa knows better than to believe in empty promises. There\u2019s fire in her . . . and if I touch her, I might get burned.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying everything I can to go straight. But when East Side Hollenbeck comes calling, I might have to risk it all to find out if there\u2019s a future for Vanessa and me. Because she\u2019s the only one who can quench my thirst for something real.<\/p>\n

The Rosas brothers will return in Trashed<\/i>!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>
