Due to her father's untimely death, Elsbeth Ker is now laird to the Ker clan. She faces many problems and obstacles. She is a female heir in need of a husband and now has to deal with the ongoing feud between her clan and the Carey clan, her family's mortal enemies. She devises a plan to ensure a victory by kidnapping Alexander Carey, the new border lord of the Carey clan. Unfortunately for her, Alex is not the heartless and cowardly Carey she had believed him to be. Not only is he sinfully handsome, but he is also amazingly adept in battle and possesses a keen intelligence. There is also a great sadness in his eyes that draws her to him. But she is torn between her growing love for her enemy and her duty to her clan.
Alexander Carey, a man who suffered years of tormenting slavery while serving his country, wants to use his newly inherited title to finally bring peace to the border. After so many years of pain, he seeks only peace. When he's kidnapped by the Scottish Lady, he is immediately intrigued and attracted to her. He sees her distrust and understands it, but longs to have the love that has always been denied to him even by his own family.

Alex and Elsbeth's mutual attraction ignites into a passionate love affair. But the love that they've dared surrender to is threatened when they find out that a traitor is amongst the Ker clan secretly working with Alex's envious brother to destroy any chances of peace between the clans. Can Alex and Elsbeth survive long enough to reveal the traitor and stop the conspiracy?

THE ABDUCTION is a wonderful story filled with humor, riveting action, tragedy, intrigue and a steamy and passionate love
