The Wall
Miguel Sanchez is a talented and dynamic attorney who has earned a reputation as a passionate crusader for immigration rights.

Since childhood, Sanchez has been conditioned to believe in that cause and to do whatever it takes to see that mission through. Now he is on the cusp of acquiring the power to do exactly that.

I have the chance of a lifetime, and I can’t afford to get in trouble – again. Still, despite the amazing opportunity, I can’t help feeling homesick.
Until I meet a stranger who catches my eye. To no one’s surprise but my own, he’s the lead actor.
He’s beautiful, charming and humble and the more time we spend together, the more I find myself falling for him…but we can’t be together. I got a bad reputation, and he’s supposed to pretend to date his costar for the cameras.
