Description
Can a sexy Hispanic action movie star find himself in the BWCA of
upper Minnesota? Will the local woman he grows to love believe someone who “lies
for a living”?
When the famous action movie star Raul Roderick needs to “clean-up”
for a major role that even he doubts he can deliver, the director sends him up
to a resort owned by his grandmother in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area of upper
Minnesota, to learn to commune with nature.
His guide is Veronica, the director’s cousin, a tall, athletic woman who
has the relaxed, sensible nature of someone who knows herself well.
Raul hasn’t been this far from his reliable drug-dealers for a very
long time, and dealing with real-life is something he’s never been very good
at. His initial clumsy attempt to seduce her makes her laugh…so he calls her
fat. Is there any hope that their relationship will progress beyond its rocky
start? And can Raul overcome his partying nature to discover what is really
important in life?
Warning: This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it
contains adult sexual situations (including a f/f/m ménage scene/scenes in the
first chapter) and/or adult language, and may be considered offensive to some

Excerpt
Jared Miller, the famous yet reclusive director, is on the phone
asking for a favor from his Grandmother who owns a resort in northeastern Minnesota.
“What is it this time?”
Jared cleared his throat audibly.
“I’m afraid it’s bigger this time. I need you to let me send you a guest who
will be there until I can get the crew up to start filming my next movie.”
“And how long with that be?” Veronica grinned at Gram-Marie
while the older woman rolled her eyes and shrugged.
“I don’t know…it depends on a lot of things. Maybe a month? Six weeks tops. I’ve got to get a whole lot
of folks packed and up there, so it’s gonna take some time.”
“And who is it you are expecting us to tolerate for an
unspecified amount of time?”
“Ronnie! Would I send you
someone you’d only tolerate?”
“Hell yeah! You’d send us
Satan to baby-sit, if your next movie depended on it.”
“Funny you should say that, cuz. He’s only the biggest, baddest star in the
business right now.”
“Who is it?”
“You’ve heard of Raul Roderick, right?”
Marie snorted.
“Who?”
Jared chuckled, “The Gamer King?
Avenge Tastes Sweet? MOFO-Town?”
“No,” Marie said, while Veronica smiled at her, all the
while filling the pie crusts with the flavors of the day.
“Well then, how about his romantic movies? Make Mine Latino? Or Three’s a Crowd, But I Like Crowds?”
Veronica giggled. “Jared,
you should see Gram-Marie’s face! She
looks like she just sucked a lemon!”
“What on earth are you people thinking of with these titles? Or these so-called plots? Why doesn’t anyone make the kinds of movies I
like to watch anymore?”
“Because you’re too old for them to consider you a target
market?”
Veronica whooped as she ducked away from the rolling pin tossed at her
by her grandmother.
“Old, my ass! I just
expect plots and they’re too damn busy putting big, fake titties and young men
without shirts into everything!”
“So you have heard of Raul then?” Jared chuckled.
Veronica explained, “Gram-Marie, he’s the kind of actor who is
very good at looking good in his movies, and he’s always shirtless at some
point. But he’s kind of limited to
playing the same kinds of men over and over again…not much range, and even
less talent.”
Jared burst in excitedly.
“Ah, but that’s where you’re so wrong, Ronnie! I only agreed to let him read for the part as
a favor to his agent. But he blew me
away! He’s so right that he’s the only
actor I seriously considered for starring in my big epic film about the
Boundary Waters area! You know, the one
I always promised Grampa I’d make about his great grandfather, Hank
Maynard?”
“If he’s that good, why do you need to send him up here
early?”
Marie nodded at Veronica’s question, asked as she was busy putting the
pies into the oven.
Jared cleared his throat again.
“Well, you see, there’s the little problem of his drinking…and
his drugs…and his whoring. He’s a real
party-animal and right now the only reason he’s not in jail is that I went to
court with him and basically told the judge I’d answer for his behavior until
his probation is over.”
“Probation for what?”
Marie’s voice was steely.
Everyone knew that her father had been a Canadian Mounty, and she was
gung-ho on supporting law enforcement officials.
“He…uh…can’t be allowed to drive for six months. They took his license away after he ran into
a parked squad car because he thought he hit the brake pedal, but it was the
gas pedal. Then when they got him out of
the car, he was so blasted he didn’t remember his real name. All he told them was that he was the famous
actor Raul Roderick and that he’d get them supporting roles in his next picture
if they would give him a ride to the meeting with me that he was already two
hours late for.”
“Obviously the officers weren’t impressed, eh?” Marie sounded smug.
“No. They took him down to
the station and booked him. I was the
person he called for his one call…not his lawyer. So I got him released to my custody, but I’ve
been having a hell of a time keeping him out from behind the wheel of a car, or
out of bars and nightclubs. I’m afraid
he’s going to kill himself before I can get the performance of a lifetime out
of him, that I’m convinced he has in him.
So I really need your help…”
There was silence while Marie and Veronica communicated with each
other non-verbally.
“Well?” Jared sounded
anxious.
Marie nodded at Veronica, who spoke.
“We can’t give you an answer now.
We have to talk this over with the rest of the family. All of us have to agree to this, since we are
all going to have to deal with this spoiled brat you want us to baby-sit for
you.”
