Taken

After an accident took her husband Matt away, a young American woman from the twenty-first century still believes her heart belongs to him alone. She had pictured spending her whole life with him and has no plans to love anyone else. Then she meets Leif, who asks her to put her trust in him and build a future together. The trouble is that she has become his captive, and time itself seems to have trapped her too, leaving her stranded in a world that is not hers.

The year is 1756, and she finds herself in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as war between Great Britain and France spills across New England and unsettles the region. Her only goal is to work out how to return home. Yet the longer she stays, the more time she spends with Leif, and the more she feels drawn to him. Their lives grow tangled together, and she fears losing everything she once knew and cared about.

As she reflects on the life she left behind, she begins to wonder where she truly belongs and whether she can endure it all. What she knows for certain is that Leif's fate is bound to hers, and so is the truth about why she has been brought there. This is the first book in E. C. Roderick's Taken series, an adventure with romance at its center, built on an unusual turn of fate that links a British soldier fighting in the French and Indian War with a young American woman from the twenty-first century.
