Captured and tortured by the French, Christian Severn, Duke
of Mercia, survives by vowing to take revenge on his
tormentors. Before the duke can pursue his version of
justice, Gillian, Countess of Greendale, reminds him that
his small daughter has suffered much in his absence, and
needs her papa desperately.
Until he surrenders his heart...
Gilly endured her difficult marriage by avoiding
confrontation and keeping peace at any cost. Christian's
devotion to his daughter and his kindness toward Gilly give
her hope that she could enjoy a future with him, for surely
he of all men shares her loathing for violence in any form.
Little does Gilly know, the battle for Christian's heart is
only beginning.
Wow, Grace Burrowes does it again! A tortured, noble war hero meets a widow who endured her own torture in a cruel marriage. Together, they help to heal each other and fall in love slowly in this sweet tale with a mystery woven in. Grace does love to have her heroes and heroines suffer before they can rise above their angst to find love, and this story is signature Grace. It made me sigh and brought me to tears, and left me happy and satisfied. (Make Kay 3:33pm June 9, 2014)

It was pretty tough for women at that time, since they really only had freedom when they were widows. (Janie McGaugh 9:24pm July 17, 2014)
As with all your books Grace, The Captive is wonderful! August and September can't come soon enough! (Glenda Martillotti 11:31pm July 17, 2014)
This sounds like such a wonderful book to whisk me away - right in the middle of Summer, too!! The cover is breathtaking, and I can't wait to find out how the story unfolds!! I wish I had a copy in front of me right now!! I'd spend the afternoon, out on my deck, with your book in one hand, and some iced tea in the other, with not a care in the world!! My Husband would have to fend for himself!! lol Have a great weekend!! (Peggy Roberson 11:48am July 18, 2014)
