Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. As an adolescent, she dreamed of love in London’s ballrooms. Now, stumbling across an old map on her family’s property, she’s found more adventure than she ever craved in the hunt for pirate treasure. Unfortunately, Beth can’t escape the attentions of her family’s guest, Lord Sheridan.
Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests caught his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth’s search connects with one of his favorite pirates of history, he can’t help getting involved. Plus, he finds her irresistible, even though she insists he stole a prized possession of hers.
As they work together following different clues and drawing closer to danger, they start to piece together a story of tragic love and piratical adventure. But the true surprise is the treasure they discover in each other.
Pirates and treasures and adventures, oh, my! This is the second book in the series, The Secrets of the Isles, and I thoroughly enjoyed it and had a very hard time putting it down. I do recommend reading the books in order, though.
Taking place in 1906 on the islands of Scilly off the shores of England, the key characters in this novel are now Beth Tremayne and Lord Sheridan. She is obsessed with finding the pirate treasure and he loves archeology. But as they seek the earthly treasure, they also realize they need to seek God and heavenly treasure. Ainsley, the manservant of Sheridan, at one point preaches beautifully about the value of a pearl.
I know when I read a book by Roseanna White that I will always enjoy it. I highly recommend this one. It will make you want to go to the Scilly islands and explore. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I am freely writing a review – all thoughts and opinions are my own.
