Johnny "Thunder" Thunderbird, a Lakota American Indian, has been tasked with designing and opening an American Indian Cultural Center in South Florida built to teach non-natives about their history and culture.

Isabel "Isa" Gonzalez, a Cuban legal immigrant, has caught Thunder's eye, and he is willing to beg, tease, dry-clean her clothes, and even embarrass himself to get a date with her.

Their relationship is hot and tumultuous, with a lot of twists and turns. Can these two very different people from different walks of life make it work in this ever changing world? Will their families break them apart or bring them together?

Excerpt:

"Uh, I'm sorry." Thunder lifted up his hands and pointed to the back of her skirt and said, "I was trying to tuck in the shirt so it wouldn't look so bulky under your skirt." He looked innocently at her while lying through his teeth. He didn't want to scare her off and tell her, yes, he was trying to cop a feel.

"Well, I can tuck it in myself," she squinted at him.

"Absolutely. I was just trying to help." He raised his hands up and took a step back.

"Fine," she sighed as she stared at his chest in the mirror.

Thunder noticed she was breathing heavy and her eyes were dilated.
