description: Can an ex-con and a Spanish noblewoman find love?
  Ex-convict, Adam Butler, is a man hardened by betrayal and violence. When he lands in Spain, his only intention is to find a paying job so he can buy his way further west, far away from the memories of his past.
  Wealthy and beautiful Evangelina Ortega yearns for the ability to marry for love even as her father is forcing her to wed a man she's never met. When she arrives at her betrothed's estate, she meets Adam Butler, a man with secrets and a checkered past.
  Can the Spanish lady and the ex-con find happiness or will their love be destroyed by her father's determination to regain the family honor?
