Publisher's Book Description
“1906
Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every inch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, after stumbling across an old collection of letters and a map buried on her family's property, she's found more adventure than she ever anticipated in the hunt for pirate treasure. But in order to discover where the clues lead, she must search alongside Lord Sheridan, a man she finds insufferable.
Sheridan has spent years pursuing whatever archaeological interests pique his imagination. And when he discovers that Beth's search connects with one of his far-removed pirate ancestors, 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 which treasure will bring the greatest surprise--the one they find in each other or the one just out of their reach?”
My Review
To Treasure an Heiress, by Roseanna M. White, is the second book in The Secrets of the Isles series. From beginning to end, this novel is captivating historical fiction! Strengthened by compelling characters, thoughtful insight, and meaningful themes, this novel offers a thrilling combination of history, mystery, suspense, danger, romance, and faith. These elements blend together beautifully to create a very special and touching story.
Throughout this novel, Ms. White uses her superb writing skills to craft a story that is altogether engaging and endearing. A varied cast of characters and a truly stunning plot make this book difficult to put down. Set on a chain of islands off the southwest coast of England more than a hundred years ago, this novel is filled with adventure, secrets, and legends that flow from a centuries old mystery waiting to be solved. The characters are unforgettable as they work together to decipher clues and determine friend from foe. They are genuinely interesting as they grapple with deep issues of faith, doubt, trust, truth, purpose, and forgiveness. As difficult decisions are made, loyalties are tested, and motivations are scrutinized, the characters themselves are inspiring and the story becomes more meaningful and moving.
Ms. White’s cleverly detailed and descriptive writing is beautifully displayed on every page of To Treasure an Heiress. It is an intriguing novel that is uplifting as well as entertaining. A worthy novel that deserves much praise, it was a true pleasure to read. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
