Marcus Thorne wears several masks in his life-playing retired pirate, Captain Hawk, is his favorite, but if his secret is discovered, he could die. Captivated by his enemy's daughter, Marcus kidnaps her, but in turn, she captures his heart... until he discovers Isabelle is one of Napoleon's spies with the power to endanger his life and the lives of his friends.

After her release, Isabelle can't stop thinking about her masked abductor and how he'd stolen her heart before ridding her of his presence. Betrothed to a man who strangely reminds her of the man whose kisses set her ablaze, she marries him, only to discover he's not who he seemed to be and is withholding secrets. But then, so is she.

Little Lamb | (𝟏𝟖+) by softlace444

I didn't think my captor would be as maddening as he is captivating. He drags me back to the house I vowed never to return to. He wants answers, and if he needs to, he will rip them out of me. I'm broken down piece by piece by every harsh word and every burning touch. But within the confusion, I can't help but crave him, the way he observes me, the way he controls me. I am consumed by his pain, but also consumed by his presence. I should hate him, Instead I'm falling.

Especially not the boy from another high school who keeps appearing in her projects, teasing, and somehow leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. She doesn't care that he swings from ceilings, cracks jokes, or that he might actually be Spider-Man, her dreams come first. But as their worlds collide, laughter, soft banter, and tiny heart-fluttering moments start to sneak in... whether she wants them or not.

He'll find her a better bridegroom and then let her go. If only he could. ...but eventually, even the best kept secrets come out... Lady Georgianna is done hiding.

With the Duke as her betrothed - the most arrogant and influential of them - Georgie will finally have everything she wanted within her grasp.

She suspects that the despicable man now on the throne of England--her uncle, Ernest--is responsible for her family's death, so she avoids his watchful eye by working as a maid for the aristocratic families of London. However, when she's employed by the dashing Duke of Kingfield, she soon discovers that he not only believes that the princess is alive, but also that she could be the key to saving England. Is Adelaide willing to come out of hiding in order to prove him right? Or are her growing feelings for him worth giving up her claim to the throne?

Here Comes Trouble by isabelleronin

There's something about Jasper that pulls me in even as I want to escape. Maybe it's his piercing too-blue eyes that hide a lot of secrets.

Because no matter how safe and protected he makes me feel, he is dangerous. And he is hiding something. And I really need to start being responsible. But then again... Where's the fun in that?

Who are you? (A Loki Love Story) by bookloversadie

Being kidnapped is bad, being kidnapped when you are an undercover shield agent is worse, but when you are kidnapped from a underground bunker while working for director Fury at the suggestion of a man you thought you trusted is the most scarring thing ever. Sophie is kidnapped by Loki, god of mischief. Except she doesn't know that is who he is. Scared and alone, she is going to be forced to make life changing decisions, and worst of all, possibly be forced to tell her biggest secret. But as time goes on, she starts to wonder. Why is she seeing this man in a different light? (Please stick through the first ten chapters, as it gets much better as it goes on. Or so I like to think...)
