Italy, 1492. A ruthless mercenary skilled in the art of conquest. An heiress who refuses to be tamed. The Devilβs own bargain . . . Cara di Montessori has a price upon her head. Her traitorous uncle has murdered her father and seized her home. Her only hope of survival, and of regaining her birthright, is an alliance with her childhood nemesis, the infamous mercenary Il Diavolo. The most irritatingβand seductiveβman Caraβs ever met. Battle hardened and world-weary, Alessandro del Sarto has earned the sobriquet Il Diavolo. He needs a politically expedient marriage to secure the lasting peace he craves, but the simpering ladies of court hold little interest. More than anything, he longs for a challenge. Headstrong beauty Cara has always been Il Diavoloβs only weakness, the one woman heβs never been able to forget. When she appears at his door begging for help, the two strike a devilβs bargain. In return for his assistance, for two weeks Cara must entertain his guests, relieve his boredomβand warm his bed. Cara has no intention of succumbing to del Sartoβs studied seduction, but the passion that simmers between them is more potent than her paper twists of gunpowder. Surrounded by danger and intrigue, she must choose between what sheβs always thought of as her destiny, and what could be the greatest prize of allβher heartβs desire. From #1 Bestselling author K C Bateman comes a witty romantic adventure filled with passion, vengeance, and redemption.
