When two unlikely paths cross . . . compatibility seems improbable.
Adrift in a foul-mouthed world of ass kicking to survive life on the tough streets of Boyle Heights, Lila is anything but a refined girlie girl. Fighting tooth and nail for those she loves has left her with a chip on her shoulder as big as the gloves on her fists.
After years of being surrounded by glamorous glitzy women, Sonny didn’t even realize how much he’s yearned for someone of real substance. So, when he meets the unapologetic, sexy-as-hell Lila, her in-your-face candor awakens something in him he’s never felt before.
Despite Lila’s suspicions about Sonny’s intentions, the two begin a seemingly innocent, yet deliciously dangerous, online flirtation as his business keeps him away a lot.
The more their rapidly growing connection intensifies, the more Lila feels Sonny is too perfect to be true. But when she’s blindsided by the truth about who Sonny really is . . .
Compatibility suddenly feels impossible.
Awww…Sonny’s note is so cute!

Subject: If life had auto correct you’d turn it off.
As usual, as I sit here waiting to board my plane, you’re all I can think of. I’m thinking of what you said this morning specifically. “I love that you love me, flaws and all.” I was in too much of a hurry to give it much thought, but now that I have, I want you to know. I NEED you to know that’s not true—not at all. From the moment I met you, the moment I first got to know you, it was because of your flaws that I knew you were the one. We all have them, and I was SO used to every woman I met trying to hide them—trying to be someone they weren’t—because they were trying to be perfect, and no one is. But not you. You put it all out there, no matter what I might think. You didn’t sugarcoat shit. I know now that’s why I was hooked from day one. Ever since, you’ve been doing the same, saying it like it is no matter how ugly or obscene you might later think it and regret it. You keep it real. And each time I’ve fallen harder. So, don’t you dare “work on it.” I don’t want you to. I want the Lila I fell in love with. Your imperfections are what make you so perfect to me. So, keep that auto correct off. Trust me. I love you for it, baby.
Can’t wait to get back to you. Be ready for me! 😉
