The Queen's Captive

The Story

Vivian Cole, a skilled antique-painting restorer, trades her freedom for a year to secure medical funds for her sick sister. She signs a confinement contract with Adriana Vance, the ruthless ruler of a shipping empire. While restoring a family heirloom in a cliff-side castle, the pair battles scheming relatives and jealous rivals. Their conflict gives way to romance as Vivian investigates the shocking truth behind the thirteen-year-old Obsidian shipwreck. She reveals that both families are victims of a deep conspiracy. Together, they defeat traitors and the transnational Obsidian Consortium. The duo rescues Adriana’s long-survived mother and clears their fathers’ names. Once enemies face justice and Vivian’s sister recovers, Adriana tears up the confinement agreement. She proposes to Vivian, and the two begin jointly ruling their shipping and art empires.
