The Wrong Love (Wildfire, No 82)

by Kathryn Makris

He's the only one she wants. When Carl Jenson first moved to the Texas border town where Sarita Valdez lives, he didn't even know what a taco was. Sarita thought that was funny. She liked Carl's sweetness and his warm blue eyes, too. Sarita offers to show him around, and that's when she finds out that tacos aren't the only thing Carl knows nothing about. Her friends' prejudice against "Snowbirds," or Anglos from the North, is very real. Sarita never expected to fall in love with Carl, but now that she has, she's afraid her friends won't accept him, or—worse yet—that they'll expect her to break up with him. How can Sarita's first love feel so right when everyone tells her it's so wrong? [text from book jacket]
