Pio Viroda was staying at the cottage in the mountains in Spain when Caroline ran away from her demanding father because he had arranged a marriage for her to a rich man she did not love or even like.
Pio asked Caroline to stay and this started a romance with a Passionate Encounter. The two main characters kept pushing and pulling each other until the end of the book. They both seemed rather immature and the book deserves an average rating.
