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:

Mike thought that she had overcharged him, but he had the money so he went ahead and paid it. “When can I move in?”

“Anytime. I’ll get you a key. Rent’s due on the first.”

“Fine.”
He took his key and got out of there. She hadn’t asked him to sign a lease, so if he found something else he could move. Imagine! Ramirez had lost his life to people like Jenna West, and now he had to cope with them everyday. Why couldn’t they stay where they belonged?

This week: Jenna wonders about Mike.

Jenna wondered what she had done to offend Mike Hightower. The man acted like a positive boor. He always spoke in a hateful tone of voice, and the expression on his face looked downright hostile. She wished that she had the option of waiting for a better tenant, but since she needed the money, she supposed he could have the apartment. What a shame that he seemed so unfriendly. Well, she’d treat him nicely anyway. As her mother always said, you could catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar.
