Synopsis

She was a victim of the Spanish Inquisition. He was a soldier sworn to destroy her. Together, they found a love no one could ever destroy.... The year was 1649. The place was exotic Mexico City, the New Spain in a brave new world. But the long treacherous arm of the Spanish Inquisition had moved across the ocean to seek out all "traitors" of Catholicism and the Spanish throne. For the voluptuous Francisca de Silva, the Inquisition meant great fear. She was a converso, a Jew whose wealthy family had practiced their religion in secret for generations. Never could she ever speak the truth of who or what she was. Never could she marry outside her faith -- even as her heart and tempestuous spirit made her long for freedom. But then she met the charismatic Miguel del Castillo, a nephew of the Grand Inquisitor of Seville himself. And from that moment on, she would never be free again. From that moment on, Francisca and Miguel would share a love so passionate, so complete that nothing -- not the Inquisition, not her family, not life itself -- could still their desire....
