abduction action charleston escape highlander historical scottish

In the summer of 1746, Sara Anne Aldridge makes a daring escape from her home in South Carolina and the betrothal being forced upon her. She flees to family in the north of England and then embarks on a venture into Scotland to tour estates forfeited to the crown after the recent failed rebellion, but the party is set upon and the women are abducted for ransom.
Sara Anne is placed in the custody of maddeningly handsome highlander Adrian McGoldrick, and it becomes his responsibility to transport her across the county to the nobleman willing to pay to acquire her. They travel from lowlands to highlands and from being adversaries to reluctant friends to a love so deep that they will each offer the ultimate sacrifice to save the other.All Rights Reserved

Her Vampire Prince by madisonrae19

Faith was happy with her life. She had a clear plan, and always knew what her next move was going to be. But then a terrible tragedy wiped out half her family, throwing her life off course. Suddenly she's become a legal guardian, adult and head of the house, with absolutely no preparation. Needing a break from the countless pitiful glances and rumours, Faith sells up and moves with her sister to the small town of Blackstone, seeking peace and normality. But as she settles in, she immediately captures the eye of the gorgeously handsome William, who she is ashamed to say more interested in then she should be. She also notices the inhabitants of Blackstone are all a little... odd, and maybe she's not in such a normal place as she thought. Suddenly she's thrown into a world that leaves her questioning her sanity, and doesn't know who to trust or where to turn. Attacks, kidnappings and a sprinkle of love... Faith's in for one hell of a ride. *COMPLETED AND EDITED BUT MAY STILL HAVE SOME MISTAKES*

Hollow by ShortandSweet01

He watched from a distance as she played. Running through the park, chasing something from her imagination, he'd never seen her so happy. It was the day of her sixth birthday. Her long red hair and blue eyes along with her bright purple party dress caught the eyes of many visiting the park that day. He'd been watching her for weeks, he knew that today was the day. Should he go back without the girl, he'd surely be punished. With them was where she was meant to be. The girl wandered farther away from the crowd, dancing and spinning to music that only she could hear. The family was completely unaware, still preparing food on their picnic table. The girl's mother carefully placed six candles into the brightly frosted cake. They were distracted and he knew that it was time. She kneeled beside a tree picking clovers from the ground, out of sight of everyone. No one even even glanced in their direction. In only a second he was beside her. She didn't know what was happening until it was too late. He knew it was what he had to do. So he took her. ~ ~ ~ After twelve years of training in one of the most elite assassination groups in the world, Bella Price is returned to the life she was forced to forget. When the agency she was raised in is exposed and taken down by the American government, she is placed back into the arms of the family that she once had. Having forgotten the feeling of true emotion, she fights to regain the humanity that was once ripped away from her.

When North Meets South by PearlOjo

He murmured kissing her hair and making his way down to her neck. "One I know you'll be very good at playing." She smiled up at him. "The things you make me do woman." He groaned blinking his surprise as her fingers found and cupped him. "You can't say I don't make up for it." She smiled as his lips came down on hers. "Are all you English women this cunning?"
