The Taken

Lucas is a wolf shifter and former army ranger, who had been looking for his fated mate for years. After nearly giving up on finding her; he is captured, tortured, and imprisoned for many months by an unknown agency. He escapes with the help of a feisty female prisoner named Sarah. He soon discovers that she is his life mate. Together they make their way back to his secluded forest home, where they should be safe with the help of his large family. Along the way, Lucas's admiration towards Sarah turns to friendship and then to love as he struggles to convince her of his true feelings. As their love for each other grows, they must stay ahead of the mysterious agency in pursuit or risk recapture.
Sarah had been working on her doctorate when she was captured. The subject of strange experiments by a crazy scientist, she continuously plots her escape. Once she learns of Lucas's existence in the facility, she seeks his aid in helping them escape. Once free, Sarah agrees to return with Lucas to his home as she has no family of her own or a safe place to hide. Sarah initially rejects Lucas's attention and his claim that she is his destined one. Because of her father's abandonment, she doesn't believe any man could love her. That combined with her own closely kept secret makes her fear accepting his love.
Unbeknownst to both of them, the head of the agency wants Sarah brought to him at any cost, for his own evil designs. Can Lucas keep Sarah safe, and will their love triumph in the end?
