Smart, sassy and cynical about men, 21-year-old Syke Standish wants neither a husband nor a life of boring domesticity. She wants freedom, adventure... danger. And in the rugged land of Mariposa, she finds all three when she is kidnapped by the daring South American revolutionary, El Diablo.

Imprisoned in his network of secret caves in the mountains, Skye plots an escape. Yet the longer she spends with this Che Guevara -like bandit, the more she learns about his devotion to the local people he fights for. Skye begins to suspect that El Diablo is far nobler than he lets on.

He can certainly take her prisoner, but will he capture her heart?

Fun, feisty and with enough romance to make you swoon, this classic "enemies to lovers" tale will tickle fans of Tracy Anne Warren, Ashtyn Newbold and Daphne Du Maurier's "Frenchman's Creek".
