From the author of Haunted, The Rock Season, and Teacher: The Hollywood Rock and Romance Trilogy comes a new version of the fish-out-of-water love story that's sure to tug on your heartstrings. This is a revised, updated, and expanded edition of El Corazon Sabe-The Heart Knows (2015)
My name is Leah Mariana Trujillo Roberts, and I teach English from mi corazón - my heart. My fragile students are my purpose in life, and I give them my all every day. At least I did, until a violent act of retaliation nearly ended my life. I became a shell of a woman, paralyzed with grief, hiding in my closet with my booze-of-the-day, wishing the pain would just disappear. But no self-respecting Latina is allowed to let life get her down, not in mi familia. They scooped me up out of my miserable existence and forced me to face my demons until I was well enough to move on. Which I did—cross country to a new town, a new school, and a new purpose.
I’d never expected to like Iowa. I definitely never thought I’d have room in my life for a tall, goofy, blond, gringo Science teacher. The first time he hit me with a door, it triggered a chain reaction, and suddenly I found clarity after months of despair. The more we collide, the more conflicted he becomes after experiencing his own devastating loss. Pero cuando el corazón sabe'''when the heart knows—it’s time to listen.
For Mature Readers.
Content Warning: Violence off-page, substance abuse, loss and grief, sexual content, and frank discussions of racism.
Genre: Romance
