Summary
from Goodreads:
After
his crush rejects him, seventeen-year-old Colton catches a plane to
Mexico, hoping to forget all about girls. But a night out at a dance
club crowded with long legs in miniskirts doesn't help, especially
when he meets the club's beautiful DJ, Alex.
In awe of her mixing skills, Colton finds it hard to believe Alex is deaf. As they bond, she asks him to help her win a DJ contest behind her rich, estranged father's back.
Colton's not a wimp or anything, but millionaires with armed bodyguards are not his ideal vacation buddies. The only problem—if he helps her, he may fly back home in a body bag.
