Moon Over Mexico — Wendy Hills

The first thing Sharon Donovan, a professional storyteller, thinks when she sees the handsome man who is to be her seat companion on her flight to Mexico is: If he had a beard and a mustache, he could be a conquistador! The next thing she thinks, after an infuriating conversation with him, is that she'll be glad when the flight is over, because she won't have to see him again. She is right in the first instance; wrong in the second: Bernal Arrente is a direct descendant of the Spanish soldiers who conquered Mexico, and she will be seeing him again because he is the head of the Mayan Foundation, which has invited her to the Yucatan to do research on Mayan legends.

Before the week is over, Sharon is a guest on Bernal's yacht and in his home, and, despite her reservations, she finds herself falling deeply in love with this enigmatic man. But this is not one of her fairy tales with a guaranteed happily-ever-after ending, and Sharon finds herself facing real-life obstacles that no magic wand can wave away...
