When her cousin Santos Luzardo returns to the plains in order to reclaim his land and cattle, he reluctantly faces off against Doña Barbara, and their battle becomes simultaneously one of violence and seduction.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Gallegos Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Gallegos Checked In Add Copy to MyList
