Hook:

Her secret will cost her freedom.
His touch will cost her heart.

Blurb:
Imogen needs answers and she's finally willing to search the Four Corners for them. Growing up as the only fae in her tiny village, she’s never belonged. But just as she sets out to discover the truth about her past she makes a small mistake in a local trading town that will cost her, wreathing her journey in a darkness she could never have anticipated…
When she refuses to cooperate after being attacked, she is taken by a dark stranger of immense power for the secret she carries.

Held captive in a foreign city until she gives up her secret, Imogen soon understands the only way to free herself from the literal shadow bonds her abductor is all too fond of holding her with is to bargain with him.

But behind the glittering fae lights of her new confines, something much darker is stirring. And the male who abducted her has secrets of his own that she can’t help wondering about… But when he is arrested and thrown in a cage, Imogen is given the key to release him, if she chooses.
But can she protect her secret and her heart?

PITCH:

Taken by Shadows is a lush romantasy with a hint of darkness. Think abductions, shadow ropes, forced proximity and fake dating. And deliciously slow burn with payoff.

His freedom now rests in the hands of the person he took against her will.But maybe he has something she wants. Maybe he has secrets of his own.
But can she protect her secret and her heart?
