She stole a stranger's heart, and then he stole her.
Sylvia has experienced her fair share of hardships in life. After she was abandoned by her husband, sold into slavery by her father, then purchased by a harsh master, the future seemed hopeless.
But all that changes after Sylvia finds an injured stranger deep within the woods. Despite his initial hostility and the language barrier between them, she takes it upon herself to nurse the handsome stranger back to health in secret. But her plan to spare him a cruel fate only seals her own when he resolves to kidnap her and take her as his bride! Sylvia, no stranger to how cruel men can be, is at first wholly immune to the stranger's attempts to charm her. But as she gets to know him, she begins to wonder: is it possible to fall in love with a man bent on treating her as his own?
