Jilted by his bride-to-be, wealthy Spanish landowner Don Vidal Salazar fears he's lost his passion for life. That is, until his English secretary, Rosalind Carlisle, intervenes.

Unable to resist her sympathy, Vidal makes a scandalous request of his friend-a night of resplendent passion. A request she shockingly grants.

A year later, neither can forget the tender liaison. Vidal, his heart finally free, is ready to take another chance at love, and he offers Rosalind her heart's desire.

But Vidal doesn't realize that Rosalind came to Spain fleeing a scandalous past and a cruel fate that may tear the lovers apart forever.
