She's forced to wed a heartless renegade... but will fate leave them no choice but to fall in love?

Rosa's friend warns her not to look at Esteban Cesare that he is evil and once she looks upon evil she is doomed. But she feels sorry for the handsome ranchero. He has finally returned home after having been abducted sixteen years ago by renegades and no one but his family welcome him.

Rosa doesn't heed her friend's warning. She looks upon him... and seals her fate.

Esteban Cesare has no intention of honoring his father's request that he marry and besides no decent ranchero will allow his daughter to wed a renegade. Without viable candidates, he has nothing to worry about until he sees Rosa Mendez. He can't take his eyes off the petite beauty and he can't stop thinking of what he'd like to do to her.

But then he is no gentleman... he is a renegade.
