Wings of the Falcon — Barbara Michaels

Nothing in Francesca's imagination had prepared her for the incredible adventures that awaited her in Italy. It was frighteningly alien to her, but there was no other place to turn after her father's death.

When her mother's wealthy Italian family had sent for her she had found herself beguiled by her dashing, handsome cousin, Andrea. But others were not so friendly. There was much strange hostility-especially from Andrea's sardonic brother, Stefano. Could she live with all this? Was her desire for her cousin Andrea strong enough to brave the danger she sensed?

And there were still more terrifying things than her strange new family. There was revolution-and the mysterious, daredevil horseman known only as the Falcon. Francesca had seen him just once, but she felt somehow she knew him.

All too quickly Francesca fell under the Falcon's deadly spell.
