About the book
Rosalie had kept her identity secret. She'd been wooed for her prospects before. Now she was suspicious of any man who took an interest in her. But Don Rafael's interest in her was revenge. He knew her as a hotel waitress, sister of the waiter who had eloped with the Don's wealthy bride-to-be. "Don't pretend you weren't in on the plot," he accused her angrily, when he took her as hostage. Rosalie had little sympathy for Don Rafael. Certainly she never expected to fall in love with him.
