Winning Isabel: Isabel, Mi Amor (English and Spanish Edition)

By Gloria Álvarez

Feminist physician Isabel Sanchez comes face to face with her own forgotten Mexican heritage when she's assigned to a South Texas clinic. Her outspoken values are in sharp contrast with the traditional Hispanic beliefs of the locals -- particularly those of political activist Javier Perez. Though fiercely independent Bel seems to be everything the marriage-minded single dad doesn't want in a woman, javier can't ignore the potent desire that sparks between them. Then his teenaged daughter seems to rebel under Bel's influence, threatening everything Javier stands for -- and his dream of making Bel his wife...Isabel Sanchez, medico y feminista, confronta sus olvidadas raices mexicanas cuando la asignan a una clinica en el sur de Texas.
