Captive
Colleen Faulkner - 1994
The two Lenni-Lenape warriors have been tracking the Mohawk war party for hours to make sure they will not turn back and attack again. Lady Tess Morgan, the captive in the canoe, tries hard to put out of her mind how these savages attacked her carriage, kidnapped her and her cousin Joselyn, and tortured and murdered poor Joselyn. When we get to the bend in the river I’ll make my move. Watching her from the far bank of the river, Raven chuckles, “I think she will jump, brother.” He cocks the trigger of his most prized possession, an English Brown Bess musket, and takes aim. “It will be fun to teach these dogs a lesson.” REVIEWS OF CAPTIVE 4.17 average rating all editions, 194 ratings, 15 reviews, added by 632 people, 136 to-reads, 95% of people like it—Goodreads 4.6 out of 5 stars (39 customer reviews)—Amazon“A very smart woman…independent!....but truly found her soul mate….they both knew it but was too stubborn to believe it…..a good book …hard to put down”--myrna jewell Kindle Customer“Really enjoyed this book!
