After watching his wife die in his arms, former police detective Lincoln Hill never forgot the promise he whispered to her as she drew her last breath. The promise to find their missing daughter, Emma Hill. The daughter he'd never known. The daughter being held captive by a powerful man serving his first term as the mayor of London, England. Determined to get his daughter back-with more rage in his veins than blood-Linc snatches the mayor's wife, Mia Ali, at a fundraising event for his re-election campaign. Linc's terms are straightforward: Emma for Mia. A simple exchange. At least, it had felt simple. It had felt simple until he laid eyes on Mia's gorgeous face for the first time. Until he laid hands on her supple, voluptuous body. Until she laid her hands on his body too-a body that hadn't been touched by a woman in six long years-lighting fire to his skin with the softness of her warm, nimble fingers. Lighting fire to every inch of him until his bones nearly melted away with the burning need to be inside her. No matter how beautiful his captive, however-or how deep the attraction-Linc refuses to get addicted to the ebony goddess he's snatched. When it comes time to make the exchange, losing Mia is the only option... Or it might be a fight to the death. -- CAPTIVE is an interracial romance and can be read as a standalone novel.
