If only he could convince Geri to stay away from his daughter. Geri's still reeling from the discovery of her dead husband's gambling and infidelity that left her emotionally shattered and penniless. Living with her daughter, she spends her days sending out resumes and looking for work. But then she rescues Reyna Mendoza from a scary tarantula, meets handsome neighbor, Art Coltrane, and finds a job. Just as things are looking up, Geri's good intentions get in the way of Luis Mendoza's plans for his daughter, and she becomes a target for his revenge.--
