The Isle of Holt was once known for peace and harmony. But it all changed when Duke Baldric died and his brother, Lord Richard took his place. Duke Baldric's son, Peter, has returned from university on the mainland and is astounded to find his people in destitute, and himself, running for his life. Peter finds refuge in his rebelling people, and help from a young, beautiful noblewoman.
Avelina Mason has been helping raise a rebellion for the past decade. She knows the stakes but is driven by the need for justice. Lord Richard has already stolen enough from her family, and Avelina won't grant him anymore. But everything is changed when a stranger claiming to be the dead Duke Baldric's son steps foot on the Isle.
With duties to fulfill and a passion for freedom, Peter and Avelina join forces to fight against Lord Richard. And neither one can deny the growing attraction between them. But Peter and Avelina both have valuable prices on their heads. And when Lord Richard wreaks havoc on the Isle, both know that it will be a God-given miracle if they both make it out alive.
P.s. I do not own cover photo or any photos shown in the book. Props to Pinterest :)

He also can't seem to figure out why has been growing from boy to adolescent much faster than he thought possible in a place where time supposedly stood still - a very strange island called Neverland, laden with myths of women with fish tails instead of legs, tiny men with insect wings, and natives who seem to know something the pirate captain doesn't. After his bloodthirsty captain leads him into the gruesome plundering of an indigenous village, Silver's quest for answers becomes a quest for redemption for the things he committed on that fateful day. But it will require having the courage to reckon with his past, accept his fate, and maybe even learn what love is for the first time.

The Lord's Darling Pirate Queen - A Peter Pan/Captain Hook Retelling
Jane was only six years old when her parents abandoned her at an orphanage. Refusing to let the other forgotten children suffer alone, she became their protector, standing between them and the cruel Matron who ruled with her cane and even crueler hands. When a fire leaves the orphanage in ruins, twelve-year-old Jane takes command of the children she lovingly calls her Lost Ones. Together they escape to sea, where one daring rescue with a grappling hook earns Jane a new name: Captain Hook. Years later, her pirate legend has spread across the seas. But when she and her crew sneak into a nobleman's masquerade, Jane crosses paths with Lord Peter Hawthorne. Their sharp tongues clash before their hearts ever do. But how can a pirate queen and an English lord ever belong to the same world?
