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.

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...)
