Northern Italy, 1492. Cara di Montessori's only hope at avenging her murdered father and reclaiming the home her uncle seized from her is to secure the services of the mercenary known as Il Diavolo. But his services don't come cheap. And what he wants is for her to act as his hostess (and preferably his mistress...)
This was an instant click for me, because it took place in Borgia Italy and that's so rare! But it was a try way to hard dissapointment because it belonged in YA. The main girl was "headstrong" in a way that was trendy, stupid, and foolish and she never really learns from it in any meaningful way. She asks for his help, then tries to escape out a window ?. Great premise, awful execution.
