TAKEN is a sweeping 17th-century action and adventure romance set between Africa and Scotland.

A princess of Tafaria defies her father and runs away. She is taken by pirates, escapes with her life, and is left stranded on an island.

A Scottish captain, traveling on a mission for his kirk, is thrown overboard during a storm and left a castaway.

Stranded together, they are forced into survival. Hunted by the island’s natives and marked for death, they must rely on each other to stay alive and find a lost galleon.

But survival is only the beginning.

When they reach his ancestral home in Scotland, differences in culture turn introductions into judgment. Loyalties are tested, power shifts, and greed leads to betrayal.

TAKEN is an action-driven romance filled with survival, tension, and cross-cultural conflict, where love is not chosen… it is forced by circumstance.
