Blurb:
Jenna West has no idea what she might have done to her new tenant Mike Hightower. He's surly and hateful every single time they meet, and he looks at her as though he despises her.
He does despise her. She's from the Middle East, and people like her killed his friend Ramirez when the army sent them to Iraq.
Will the power of love work its magic to soften Mike's bitter hatred, or will he ignore his growing attraction for his pretty landlady?
Last Week:
“Yes. Mike Hightower?”
Mike nodded.
“I unlocked the door for you. If you’re interested, give a yell. If not, I’ll assume that you don’t want it.”
“Fine.”
Mike almost left. A Middle Eastern woman had no business in Eden’s Crossing! Her people had killed Ramirez. When did she come here? Oh, wait. Seems like he did remember a young Middle Eastern girl who’d been three grades behind him in school. Still though, he couldn’t be sure. As a young kid, he hadn’t paid much attention to girls. He liked football better.

This week: Mike refuses to warm up to Jenna.
He had no idea why he did it, but he went inside anyway and immediately liked what he saw. The living room had plenty of space with a nice, big window along the south wall. The walls were painted a light cream color that should match most furniture, and a neutral colored vinyl covered the floor.
He passed through the living room to the kitchen that contained a small stove and refrigerator, and from the kitchen, he entered the bedroom. The bathroom and a huge closet occupied the far end of the bedroom.

He liked the duplex, and it suited him perfectly. What a shame that somebody like her had to own it. What was the world coming to?
