In Santi's Defense Tressie Lockwood Della Hayes is still in law school. She's got her life semi-planned, but she's deep in school loan debt and has zero time for men. That's why her love life has been sparse. She's tolerating her controlling great-uncle who helped raise her, and she's holding her best friend at arms length when he wants to change the dynamics of their relationship. Then along comes Latin billionaire Santi Otero Varela. His name screams sex, not to mention the wavy, dark hair, topaz eyes, and a body that could make a grown woman cry. Then there's his accent! Santi wants Della. Her extra curves just fire up his libido. He won't take no for an answer, and he promises her hours of loving and to meet her every need. Della can't resist the temptation, but should she give in? Santi travels all over the world, wining and dining women and bedding them. Can she believe in Santi when he offers no words of love but invites her home to Spain?

Her father being a retired Lieutenant with the NYPD gave her a distinct advantage of having contacts in the police department, one being her longtime friend Detective Sean Gilead. One night after she was caught in a particularly dangerous situation, their relationship changed. After yelling at her and arresting her, Sean ended up kissing her till her senses swam and showed R.J. his true feelings. She had two choices--pretend it never happened or succumb to the feelings that he brought to the surface. Could they go from being friends to lovers, or would giving in to the heated kisses and passion lead to them both having shattered hearts?
