Books like Prisoner in His Arms by Dallas Hamlin

A suspenseful look inside the seemingly perfect marriage of Jack and Grace, where love, secrecy, and abuse mask a household of hidden violence.

Union Captain John Howe escapes a Confederate prison and must escort a reluctant former prisoner, Amanda Douglas, on a perilous journey that tests loyalty, love, and survival.

Julius was a skilled and brilliant surgeon Laura was awed working with him. That he should notice her and then wish to marry her was incredible. She saw herself helping him to even greater heights. But the reality proved far different. Julius was also an insanely jealous man and she knew that this, having destroyed his first marriage, could destroy theirs, too. Helplessly trapped by events, nourished by mistrust and suspicion, what could Laura do to prevent the inevitable tragedy!

He seethes with raw power the first time I see him--pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He’s dangerous. He’s wild. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. So I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets too. Then he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it’s getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back. At night I can’t stop thinking about him in his cell. But that’s the thing about an animal in a cage--you never know when he’ll bite. He might use you to escape. He might even pull you into a forest and hold a hand over your mouth so you can’t call for the cops. He might make you come so hard, you can’t think. And you might crave him more than your next breath.
