Unfortunately, his ties to a Mexican gang arent easy to break, and he soon finds himself being set up by a drug lord. When Alex arranges for Carlos to live with his former professor and his family to keep him from being sent to jail, Carlos feels completely out of place. Hes even more thrown by his strong feelings for the professors daughter, Kiara, who is nothing like the girls hes usually drawn to. But Carlos and Kiara soon discover that in matters of the heart, the rules of attraction overpower the social differences that conspire to keep them apart. As the danger grows for Carlos, hes shocked to discover that its this seemingly AllAmerican family who can save him.
