Plot Summary of Captive Bride
"Christina Wakefield longed for adventure. However, when she was kidnapped by Sheik Abu, it was definitely not the adventure that she had in mind. Sheik Abu, also known as Phili Caxton, once proposed to Christina, but was refused. Now she is his slave. He swore torture and revenge, but one look at her, all is forgotten. Although nothing could keep them together, yet nothing could keep them apart. Soon after her return to England, Philip followed hoping to have her once more. However, he soon will find out the truth about love and the bride that he once captured."
Kelly , Resident Scholar
