Satan Took A Bride

Toni was an orphan who had spent her whole life in a Spanish convent and was destined to become a nun herself. But something told her that life held more than that for her, and she ran away — straight into the arms of Luque de Mayo. Nothing in her sheltered life had prepared her to deal with a man like this — dark, devilish, inscrutable, a man who used women as toys and cast them aside when he had had enough of them. Yet he treated Toni in a protective way, and indeed lost little time in calmly announcing that she had better marry him. But how could a marriage between two such totally different people hope to succeed — when it was not even going to be a real marriage?

Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.
