Publisher's Summary

Kidnapped and held hostage after a bank robbery, college freshman Beth Farell falls in love with Glenn, a reluctant participant in the kidnapping. While she and the two other victims struggle to survive in the wilderness of north-central Washington, Beth works hard to keep her growing attraction to the handsome young cowboy hidden.

But it’s not long before the hostages are rescued, and the world discovers Beth’s secret. Worse, so-called experts insist that she is feeling nothing more than capture-bonding. Beth disagrees, but what can she do? Glenn is out of her reach, and she must move on.

A new job with World Relief in Africa appears to be Beth’s answer to a new life. However, when she meets Andrew, a young missionary, memories of Glenn are reignited. Can Beth start a new life, or will Glenn haunt her memories forever?

"The Captive" has grown into a series, The Taken Trilogy. Each book features one of the three women that were kidnapped in book one, "The Captive."
