Hot Shot

Marco Solis

I know if I get too close to people, they disappear. My parents were deported back to Mexico when I was fourteen, my fiancée married someone else while I was in the military, and now my business partner’s spending more time with his girl than with me. For better or worse, that’s how I meet Carrie Garner. She’s legitimately model-hot and way out of my league, and I clearly annoy her. Yeah, I like to push her buttons . . . in an up-against-the-wall, hard-and-fast kind of way.

I may be a natural in front of the camera, but my dream is to make it as a photographer. Soon I’ll be heading to Spain to art school. I’ll miss the wacky family I spend all my time looking after, my best friend Hayden, and I’ll even miss Hayden’s boyfriend, Beck—but I won’t miss Beck’s partner, Marco. Bossy, brooding, and annoyingly sexy, he keeps reminding me that all anyone sees in me is a pretty face. I want to be so much more than that. But as I get to know Marco better leaving for Spain doesn’t seem so appealing . . . but I have to prove myself . . .
