Captive of Desire — Ruth Ryan Langan

In a bitter legacy, they discovered the treasure of love...

A fearless Irish beauty. A proud British warrior. From hatred's flames a blazing love would be forged...

Strong-willed Alana O'Donnell was a fierce chieftain's daughter with an unconquerable spirit. She would submit to nothing: not to the arrogant British who held ruthless sway over her beloved emerald isle... not to the fate that made her mistress of an endangered estate. And never would she yield to the vengeful enemy who abducted her: Sloan Townsend, the black-haired scion of the O'Donnell's bitterest foes -- a man who swore to make her pay dearly for their families' ancient blood feud. Even when a shattering choice forced Alana to marry him to save the lands she loved, she vowed she would yet avenge her name and honor.

But neither she nor Sloan had the weapons with which to fight the forbidden fires that flared between them. And against a foul betrayal, they would battle together to bring peace to their troubled land and risk all for the splendor of a love greater than duty, freedom, or life itself!
