As her search continues and some renovation work needs to be done on the cinema, Diane meets Vladimir Hurtado Padrón. They are very attracted to each other.

The author has created several charming, well-drawn characters that fit very nicely into the story. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud throughout this book.
