The Captive Duke

A breathtaking tale of a tortured hero and the woman who shows him how to heal--and love again

Captured and tortured by the French, Christian Severn, Duke of Mercia, lost his wife, his son, and his will to live. He struggles to find a way back to the world he once knew until Gillian, Countess of Windmere, pointedly reminds him that he has a daughter who still needs him.

As Christian and Gilly spend more and more time together trying to heal Margaret, who was traumatized by her mother's death, their attraction slowly begins to grow. But just as life seems to be getting back to normal, Gilly mysteriously refuses Christian's marriage proposal and Margaret's terrible secret threatens to tear them apart forever...
