Taken for Good

By Lucy Hernandez

Clara Whitlock's life was predictable until she was snatched from a quiet subway station by a man who doesn't want her money-he wants her heart.

Gideon Valeska is a ghost, a former special-ops contractor living in a fortified mountain fortress. He didn't kidnap Clara for ransom; he took her to be the mother his two traumatized children desperately need. Trapped in a high-tech estate where every exit is a dead end, Clara must navigate Gideon's volatile moods and the silent pain of his eight-year-old son.

But as Clara uses her gentle touch to heal the family, the lines between prisoner and protector begin to blur. Gideon's cold control is slipping, replaced by a dark obsession that neither of them can ignore. Is the heat between them a genuine connection or a desperate survival instinct?

As a relentless detective closes in and Gideon's violent past arrives at their doorstep, Clara must decide if she is truly a victim or if she has finally found where she belongs. In this gilded cage, the most dangerous thing isn't the man who took her-it's the love she's starting to feel for him.
