BOOK DESCRIPTION
“You are afraid of me, Ranald Kincairn!” Enya said.
“I, afraid of a Lowland traitoress, who in the bargain, I might remind you, is my captive and in chains? You jest, mistress!”
“Then kiss me.”
“Nae.” Ranald stood, gazing down at her, his dark eyes musing. “Should I teach ye the rudiments of lovemaking, do ye still think ye can make me love ye?”
“I will yet do it.” She stood on tiptoe and kissed his hard mouth.
When he did not respond, Enya moved back a step and stared at him with an unnamed fear. “’Tis your blood that runs cold.”
“Then heat it. Tonight. I tire of empty promises.”
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The mighty Kincairns, once a powerful Highland clan, were now rebels out to destroy the conquering British invaders. Ranald Kincairn, new chieftain of the rebels vowed to revenge the murder of his brothers and his sister’s ruination. And in the depth of night, he stole the virgin bride of his cunning and ruthless foe with the intent to breed her with Scots bairns and then destroy her soul.
But he had not counted on the firebrand that was his enemy’s bride, Enya of the Afton House. Before the laird could bring low the prisoner of his hatred, Enya vowed she would have him bowing down as her captive. Her captive of love.

REVIEWS
5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Highland Story May 16, 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Enya and Ranald find their hatred for what the other stands for turns to love of the deepest kind. Their story is a delight to read. Enya is spunky and not afraid of this bitter laird. She sees past the facade to emotions he doesn't even realize still lies beneath the layers of embitter rage. Each brings out the better in the other. Enya has never felt attractive and Ranald gradually gives her that feeling despite his intent to destroy all that she stands for, having traded her Scottish birthright for the British that overthrows their rightful heritage. The Scottish lord finds he is taught an important lesson on Love rather than Hate. The ending is the best in the entire romantic genre. No author has topped it nor do I think that the sensational ending ever will be. It created that wonderful warm and fuzzy feeling that stays with you long after the last line is read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved The Captive,Parris Afton Bonds has done it again!! November 17, 2013
Format:Paperback
Love this book!! Parris Afton Bonds has such a gift for weaving together so many elements, passion, intrigue, excitement and ultimately love..isnt that why we read this genre in the first place?
Enya stole Ranald's heart and he was unable to follow through with his diabolical plan..even though vengeance filled his heart in the beginning, you could see his love for Kenya slowly take over the dark places inside of him.
Every chapter left me wanting more and I hated coming to the last page!
