For years, Julie Willington has planned to start up a theater summer camp for underprivileged children from San Diego at her grandfather's villa. When Grandfather Henry passes away and leaves her the house, that dream seems closer to becoming a reality. But if she doesn't find an investor soon to put money into maintaining the house, her plan is doomed to fail.

When drop-dead sexy Romeo Ramirez comes into her life, she wants to persuade this realtor from Bonita to find the best buyer for her villa, but also to respect her wishes regarding the purpose of the house - it needs to stay available for the summer camp. Romeo promises her to consider her terms, but what Julie doesn't know is that he actually works for the Mexican mafia... and they want her house at all costs as a new base of operations.

Romeo Ramirez never had problems with playing a double role, until he is tasked with double-crossing Julie Willington and convincing her to sell her house to the highest bidder. It should be a piece of cake to persuade her to sell her luxury villa to his shady cousin Julio, but when he witnesses with his own eyes the kind of idealistic project she wants to set up there, a tiny bit of light penetrates his dark heart. Plus, the fact that he'd love to get this feisty young woman in the sack isn't really helping either.

Julie and Romeo are extremely attracted to each other, despite their difficult circumstances, but can their love truly blossom when Romeo is too afraid to follow his heart, and Julie doesn't know who his employer really is..?
