Romance Historical

Storm, a legendary outlaw, fearlessly rescues Scotsmen imprisoned by the king's men. Having survived a harsh childhood, Storm married hoping her dreams of contentment would last. That hope ended when her husband was captured, tortured and killed by the king's men. The despair that engulfed her left her committed to rescuing others from the injustice served upon the Scots. Her burning need keeps her focused until Storm finds an American in the latest group of prisoners she frees. He charms and challenges her. She quickly guards her heart, knowing it will break when he leaves. Burke Longton left the Dakota Territories for Scotland to fulfill a promise to his dying father. Somewhere in Scotland, he has a half-brother who knows nothing of his existence. He will find Cullen and bring him home. Burke runs afoul with the authorities who set him up and then arrest him. Without his funds readily available to him, he finds little help with the magistrates. Freed by a beautiful outlaw, Burke offers his help if she will assist him in locating his brother. Thrown into her cruel world where suffering brings no hope, Burke tries to give Storm joy even in the most desperate times. Watching her fight against the odds, he falls in love with her. She denies her love, knowing she will forever be hunted as an outlaw. Ms. Fletcher writes a tale of lovers who live with incredible suffering yet are compelled by love to accomplish the impossible. TAKEN BY STORM ends with a note of hope as one couple succeeds and another must continue to search for happiness.

SUMMARY

Burke Longton has traveled to Scotland to find his brother, but instead finds himself in a dungeon, accused of a crime he did not commit. Before he can devise a plan to escape, a motley crew bursts into the cell, and he is rescued by a fiery hellion who is as beautiful as she is fierce . . . They call her Storm - an avenging angel to the wrongly imprisoned, an outlaw wanted by the Scottish government. Everything and everyone she'd ever loved has been taken from her, and now she's determined to never let that happen again. She does not have time for tenderness or love . . . until she meets Burke. Rugged and courageous, his kisses promise nights of fevered passion, while his eyes challenge her to dream of a future together. Dare she let this man storm past her defenses and convince her to trust her heart again?
