I have been reading Johanna Lindsey books for over 20 years. They are great fantasy stories and quick easy reads to just relax and enjoy. She is one of my favorite authors. I read this book when I was 14 yrs old, and wanted to revisit some of Johanna's older works.
When Phillip Caxton first meets Christina Wakefield, he must have her. She rejects his proposal of marriage, so he sets out to kidnap her.
Christina wants to resist and hate her captor, but her body responds to his every touch.
This book contains rape scenes and violence towards women.

Typical Lindsey historical. Kidnapped lady. Rape fantasy (ew). Quick read.
Another win from Johanna Lindsey. These books make me want to never stop reading. I'll never stop being a fan thanks to her books.
