Esme Jaramillo innocently agrees to a guest appearance on a day time talk show, unaware of the real topic for the show. Instead of going on as a genetics expert she is to have a makeover as a male co-worker thinks she is sorely in need of a new look. This is a touchy subject for her as she sees herself as an unattractive woman, unworthy of any man's interest. Gavino Mendez, the show's make up artist, meets Esme prior to the show and is captivated with her natural beauty that shines from within. He is sympathic as he knows she is but a lamb being led to slaughter. Esme flees the show in shame and heads home in disgrace. Disgusted with the show's antics, Gavino quits his job and takes off for Colorado to find the brokenhearted woman that had captivated him. He knows she will not welcome him with open arms for as far as she is concerned, he was in the enemy's camp. Yet he will not give up! What a Latin hunk! From his long shiny locks to the diamond stud in his ear....to his warm heart, a true hero any heroine would be most fortunate to fall in love with. This wonderful story is what romance is all about.....love taking root, sprouting and growing strong. I hated to see it end!
