Produktbeschreibung

≈≈Salsa Dancing with Pterodactyls is the story of a interracial, multicultural American family. David Gitano's proud Hispanic-American family believes she is using him. Emily Burdis's Central Valley sister believes he is using her. She thinks: He's a corporate lawyer. He's her boss. He's the pterodactyl man she needs. She's broken and can never give him the family he wants. He thinks: She's too good for him. She's the answer to his prayers. He's a monster to consider involving her in the mess he's made of his life. Members of his Board of Directors want him to take the blame for a conspiracy that will destroy his career and he's the kind of pterodactyl man who will do what it takes to protect his family. The conspirators want Emily to abandon him to his fate but she's just as much a raptor as her lover when it comes to the family they have created together. A custody battle for his two-year old son is the ultimate weapon but even that fails when Emily employs her public relations training to stack the family court against David's ex-in-laws.
