Italy, 1492. A ruthless mercenary skilled in the art of conquest. An heiress who refuses to be tamed. The Devils 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 irritatingand seductiveman Caras 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 Diavolos only weakness, the one woman hes never been able to forget. When she appears at his door begging for help, the two strike a devils bargain. In return for his assistance, for two weeks Cara must entertain his guests, relieve his boredomand warm his bed. Cara has no intention of succumbing to del Sartos studied seduction, but the passion that simmers between them is more potent than her paper twists of gunpowder.
