Summary

Danger. Desire. Destiny. In a time when love between enemies meant death, one captive English lady and a Scottish king dare to challenge the boundaries of war.
 
Lady Elara Pemberton's world shatters when she becomes a prisoner in the fortress of Scotland's most powerful man, King Malcolm MacBride. Within the cold stone walls of Castle MacBride, she discovers her captor is far from the barbaric warrior she expected - he is cultured, intelligent, and impossibly alluring. As political tensions escalate between their nations, Elara finds herself torn between her English heritage and her growing feelings for Malcolm. Each stolen moment together weaves a deeper connection, while the drums of war beat ever louder at their door. When her father, Earl Pemberton, launches a desperate rescue mission, Elara must make an impossible choice. If she follows her heart, two kingdoms will burn. If she honors her duty, she'll lose the only man she's ever loved. Can love flourish in the shadow of war, or will duty destroy everything they hold dear?
 
Highland King's Captive is a sweeping medieval romance that will transport you to the rugged Scottish Highlands. If you love forbidden passion, political intrigue, and heart-wrenching choices, then you'll be captivated by Q.K. Allen's masterful tale of love against all odds.
