Sheila Raye read her first romance in 5th grade. Happy endings found in the midst of turbulent events became her passion. This native Floridian has a love for all things historical. The old buildings, cemeterys and oak-lined drives of the deep south awakened a desire to write, and with her sister's encouragement her first historical romance was born. This 2007 Golden Heart Finalist lives in rural central Florida.
A little confusing in places with the Peter Pan references, this story has plenty to keep the reader's attention. A hero who can come and go between his world and the mortal world, but not without cost. A heroine who stands to lose everything if she fails in this task. Along with interfering and protective brothers and a villain who is definitely a pirate in disguise, this story has all the elements of drama on the high seas.
This is a book filled with bossy big brothers, an under-handed and scheming "uncle", a ghost who is not a ghost and a crew of a ship that no one can or should see. Oh and romance too! This is a pleasant story that will make you smile as you read through the characters' reactions to various occurrences. It is also nice to find a book where a "woman of virtue" doesn't necessarily mean just one thing!
