Overview
When her father executes the man she loves, Princess Nzingha refuses to break. She runs. Straight into chains. Straight into the hands of pirates who mistake restraint for weakness. Her escape is brutal and earned, leaving her cast ashore on a remote island far from crowns, courts, and control. Andrew Barton is a Scottish merchant captain with a pirate's reputation and no loyalty to kings. Shipwrecked and wounded, he expects solitude until he meets a woman who greets captivity with threats and grief with steel. Stranded together, survival comes first. Trust comes last. Desire grows where it shouldn't. Power shifts. Freedom is chosen. But when rescue means returning to the world they fled, royalty, clan loyalty, and political war, love becomes the most dangerous risk of all. Taken is an epic Scottish historical romance of survival, defiance, forbidden love, and high-stakes adventure.

Reviews
""From the opening chapters, the story delivers a high-stakes adventure led by a compelling heroine. The visceral prologue immediately drew me in and set the tone for a powerful, unpredictable journey."" - Beta Reader ""The story goes far beyond a simple romance. Slavers, pirates, tribal warfare, and political betrayal create a constant sense of danger that defines the adventure at its core."" - Advance Reader ""The castaway setting strips the characters of their societal roles and forces them to connect on a purely human level. Their emotional bond develops naturally and feels authentic and earned."" - Beta Reader
