To Treasure an Heiress

GIVEAWAY

WHITE, ROSEANNA M. WHITE
TO TREASURE AN HEIRESS

Beth Tremayne has always been drawn to adventure. During her childhood, she fed that desire by exploring every loch of the Isles of Scilly. Now, after stumbling across an old collection of letters and a man 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 slues 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:

Buried pirate treasure, you say? That comes with island adventure along the Cornish coast? Action, excitement, danger....love?! Eeeeepppp, To Treasure an Heiress is the epitome of 'perfect summer read'. I really need to visit the Isles of Scilly and breathe in that tangy salt air, and see the sights for myself. Seriously, google it -- I've never seen so many shades of blue! Love when an author's descriptions breathe life into a place I've never been and send me on a travelogue research trip! And Roseanna M. White definitely does that here.

This is the second book in her Secrets of the Isles series and I definitely think it would be best to read the books in order. There's quite a bit of plot and character 'spill over' from The Nature of a Lady, as this story picks up where the first left off. 

Beth is back home now, still gathering information on the notorious pirate who once lived on the island, still looking for the rest of that illusive treasure. But this time she's not doing it on her own. She has a 'posse' of helpers to add chaos and charm to the quest. Including one annoying Lord 'Arrogance Personified' Sheridan -- the enemies to more trope plays out beautifully here. A hysterically funny and touching and toe-curling delight.

And so much action and adventure! Treachery and danger! All tangled in a twisty-turny plot so I best issue a 'Paper Cut from Furious Page-Turning' warning. Might want to keep bandaids handy, along with your smelling salts and comfort chocolate. :-)

Super excited for Worthy of Legend to release in September -- it has a King Arthur tie-in. Double eeppppp!!!!

  1. Love this author's books. From your description of "TO TREASURE AN HEIRESS", it sounds like she's done it again. Sounds like an amazing read and one I'm going to thoroughly enjoy reading from beginning to end. I do so love to get some of my fantasy travel in when an author makes you feel the surroundings (sight, smell and hearing) through the written word.

    Thank you for the wonderful chance to win a copy!
