Please let it be noted that "The Silver Devil", by Teresa Denys, is set in Spain and all the characters are Spanish.

Elizabeth, I just checked, and the cover says, "Amid the gilded opulence and dark intrigue of Renaissance Italy grew a love that knew no bounds..."

The setting is also "The Dukedom of Cabria, Italy" in 1605.

The Flesh and the Devil, however, is set in Spain with Spanish characters. Is that the one you meant?

Hello Heather,

Mea culpa. Indeed it is 'The Flesh and the Devil' that is set in Spain (that's the one of Denys' I've read and liked). I find her writing style irresistible (don't mind that she takes her time to develop a sense of a past time and place, and terribly miss efforts like hers to get the mores, modes of behaviour, feelings and verbal exchanges as true to a past experience as possible) and will be reading 'The Silver Devil' at the first opportunity. Sorry for causing unnecessary stress. xx

No worries. I like my lists to be as accurate as possible, so I appreciate it when other Goodreads users point out books that don't belong. Thank you for trying to help. :)

Lord of Scoundrels has a half Italian hero, who speaks Italian throughout the book, should that count?

I could have sworn the heroine in Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke's Heart is from Spain not Italy? But my memory is hazy.
