Celia Ross lives in the cocoon of her father’s love. When he suddenly disappears, she finds herself in the arms of a man who takes duty seriously, Captain Salvador Pérez de Saa, nephew of the Duke of Villalba. Though Salvador has closed his heart to women, he has obeyed his uncle’s call to help Henry Ross, a man to whom the duke owes a debt.

To keep Celia safe Ross asks that Salvador do more than look after her. He wants him to marry her. But Celia wants her father back and her life restored. When Salvador sees her graceful form dancing in the sun, his frozen heart unlocks. He wants her desperately and is frustrated that she remains oblivious to him. But the more she refuses to acknowledge him, a man starved for love, the more he’s determined to win her heart.
