Raul Roderick, a sexy Hispanic action movie star addicted to life in the fast lane, needs to clean-up for a major role that even he doubts he can deliver. The indie 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, and has the natural confidence that comes from being surrounded by a loving and supportive family. Raul's 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? Can Raul overcome his partying nature to discover who he really is, and what he really wants from life? And can Veronica ever learn to trust a man who "lies for a living?" Author's note: there are two Rauls in this book. The first chapter introduces us to the careless movie star who has never had any limits set on what he can do. Once he gets up north, he has to try to fit into a world that is totally foreign to him. Can he do it? And how deep will the changes go?
