Captor & Captive romance

Captor-to-lover romance starts with a locked door and ends with an open heart. This shelf holds 62 books where the heroine is kidnapped, held as collateral, bought at an auction or traded to pay a debt, and where the man holding the keys slowly becomes the man she would choose anyway. Expect intense power dynamics, forced proximity in mansions, safe houses and castles, and a heroine who learns to take control of her captor. These stories are dark by design; check each subtitle for the tone and themes before you start.
