Cecilia, the love of Max's life, has moved to Los Angeles, and the new girl in town, the green-eyed vixen named Paloma, is JUST a friend. At least, that's how Max sees things. But despite what he thinks, the match is on between Cecilia and Paloma, both vying for the noble and wild heart that Max doesn't quite understand he has. The trick is that Max lives a double life only Paloma knows about. While he looks like a nerdy sixth-grader, in reality he's a prince, descended from royal blood. And his uncle is the most famous luchador of all time, the very king of lucha libre--the Guardian Angel. Will Paloma blow Max's cover to Cecilia? Max sure hopes not!
