A swashbuckling, romantic adventure with a dash of spice and pixie dust!
S Y N O P S I S
When Tinkerbell is exhiled for selling pixie dust in a moment of desperation, she'll do anything to find a way back to her beloved homeland.
Meanwhile, Captain Hook and his crew have suffered since the fateful night that he met the beautiful, thieving pixie who landed him with a curse that turns the oceans against him.
But when a mutual nemesis and a shared quest brings them together, Tink and Hook find that they might not hate each other's company as much as they thought.

I fell hard for this reimagining of Peter Pan, starring Tinkerbell and Captain Hook as we've never seen them before.
This was a clever, creative take on the Neverland we know and love. Megan Van Dyke brought Hook and Tink to life in such a way that you can't help but root for them both from the very start. I loved the world she built around pixies and pirates, and I absolutely adored the cheeky, charming crew of the Jolly Roger!
While this is definitely a spicier romance, this isn't the kind of story that hangs on it's love scenes. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, and the tension between Tink and Hook is deliciously built and well-earned.
I can't wait to see more of Megan Van Dyke's stories on my shelves in the future!
