     Carlos: I certainly didn’t want to waste my time babysitting a wannabe actress. Especially, when in order to do my job well I would need to run everything by her stuck-up, pain in the ass cousin. But there was something about her cousin that struck a nerve with me. She seemed so smart and extremely sexy. What was the price I was going to pay for taking on the role of Falls Ranch Protector… Sam I hated working for my cousin. I loved her sure, but I had an education, more than one degree, and at almost thirty I should be using them for something more. But when family needs you, your wants and dreams take the back burner. I didn’t mean to want my sexy protector, but every time he came near me something inside me flared. He was too much. Too handsome, too intelligent, too strong, and too stubborn. I would go to Falls Ranch. I would play the part Chandra needed me to play, but when this job was over, that’s when I would leave it all behind. Start my real career, and my real life. The only problem? Would I be able to walk away with my heart intact?

It exposes the complex and contradictory impulses of the human spirit, the ugly tangle of emotions we must deal with in ourselves and also as a wider society. With frankness, humour and a decided fuck-you to fear, Vanessa digs deeper than she ever has to find something resembling sorcery.
