博客來When her father’s betrayal costs her the man she loves, Nzingha does not break. She runs. Straight into chains. Straight into the hands of men who mistake restraint for weakness.
Her escape is brutal, earned, and unforgiving, leaving her cast ashore on an island far from crowns, courts, and consequence.
Andrew Barton is a merchant captain with a pirate’s name, a fortune built on foreign trade, and no loyalty to kings. Shipwrecked, wounded, and dangerously honest, he is unprepared for a woman who meets captivity with threats and grief with steel.
Forced into survival, bound by circumstance rather than trust, they navigate desire, defiance, and danger in equal measure. Power is contested. Freedom is chosen. Love is neither gentle nor guaranteed.
Taken is an epic historical romance of action and consequence, where loyalty is tested, survival is earned, and love is forged in the space between war and will.
