Isabella’s parents are traditional, conservative Cubans. They
would never dream of letting their daughter speak privately with a
man; they would be furious to know he had held her hand and once
nearly kissed her. Isabella doesn’t want to dishonor her parents.
But something draws her to Richard Southard, something she can’t
resist. When he employs her has his bookkeeper, she has more
opportunity to watch him, to speak with him, to get to know him
better. And the more she knows him, the more she finds herself
falling helplessly in love. But Richard is a man of honor. Although
he is as atracted to Isabella as she is to him, he will respect her
culture’s traditions. Only God knows the way for Isabella and
Richard to honorably scale the barrier that lies between
them.
