Not a single day has gone by that I haven't thought of our friends we left behind. What became of them? Are they all alright? Henry and I spent months searching history books and records for any sign of our crew. But we found nothing. As if they never even existed. It's difficult to find resolute within myself for the things that happened. During those first few years, I had the pregnancy and the birth of our children to distract me. But it didn't take long for my thoughts and worries to wander to the past. Especially after the siren reared its head. The sea creature appeared to me three months ago, demanding I uphold my end of some fickle bargain I'd blindly made... and forgotten about. Back when we were all stranded on Shellbed Isle after retrieving Peter Easton's lost treasure. But a lot had happened since then. I'd found out just how much those wretched creatures have meddled in the lives of Cobham women. For hundreds of years. I felt no obligation to keep my promise to the beast. Still, she kept coming. Twice more. The siren appeared to me by the water, insisting that I keep my promise of a single favor. When my curiosity finally caved and I gave her an inch, I asked what she wanted of me. I wasn't prepared for what the creature said. Yet, part of me expected the words before she spoke them. She wanted me to return to the past.  "A swashbuckling good romance!" - ★★★★★ USA TODAY Bestselling Author Alexa Padgett&
