Midnight Captive: A Dark Paranormal Romance of Fated Mates and Fiery Revenge (The Redemption Prophecy Book 2)

He came to claim a demure bride.
She greeted him with a dagger at his groin.
Now he can’t wait to possess her.

Perfect for fans of Scarlett St. Clair, Rebecca Yarros, Carissa Broadbent, and Kresley Cole, Midnight Captive delivers a sinfully satisfying blend of vengeful heroines, emotionally damaged heroes, and slow-burn passion that finally explodes.

Scotland, 1531.

After seven years abroad, James Knightly returns to marry the girl he’s been promised since childhood. But when a dagger-wielding stranger crashes into his arms—fierce, defiant, and cloaked in mystery—he has no idea she’s the bride he left behind.

Not until that kiss undoes them both.

And suddenly, he doesn’t care about tradition—he just wants her.

But Cailin MacDougal is no longer a docile bride-to-be. She’s a survivor with a dark past and a fire forged in blood. When Angus Campbell—an immortal threat to the MacDougals—sets a deadly trap, Cailin ensures she’s the one captured, sparing her mother from his grasp. Her plan is simple: sacrifice herself to get close to Angus and end him once and for all so she and James can have their happily ever after.

James will do anything to save her.
Even confront the sins of his past.

Meanwhile, Broderick MacDougal, the vampire who raised Cailin as his own, uncovers a prophecy that may hold the key to protecting his family. But the truth could cost him the very soul of the woman he loves—his wife, Davina.
