Bella Sueños

Katie has only one rule on the speedboat she owns on Sanford Lake, Michigan: “No fishing allowed.” That is, until one day she finds herself in Cozumel, Mexico, with Ben, an American captain who introduces her to the world of deep-sea fishing. Ben soon becomes her closest friend and the object of her unrequited affection.

Ben finally falls for Katie just as she has given up any hope of a romantic relationship. Through twists and turns, the two remain close… until Katie’s first love from her small hometown reappears in her life and makes her question it all.
