As her mother not unkindly told her, she was never going to grow up to be a great beauty. Her glamorous sister, Lilly, moved easily through the world, a parade of handsome men in pursuit. Her brother didn’t want a girl joining his group of friends. And their small town of Lynn, Massachusetts, didn’t have a place for a girl whose feelings often put her at war with the world — often this meant her mother, her brother, and the town librarian who wanted to keep her away from the Dangerous Books she really wanted to read. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut through an unexpected friendship, Neave finds herself with a forbidden copy of \u003ci\u003eThe Pirate Lover\u003c\/i\u003e, a steamy romance, and Neave discovers a world of passion, love, and betrayal. And it is to this world that as a grown up she retreats to again and again when real life becomes too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeave finds herself rereading \u003ci\u003eThe Pirate Lover\u003c\/i\u003e more than she ever would have expected because as she gets older, life does not follow the romances she gobbled up as a child. When Neave and Lilly are about to realize their professional dream, Lilly suddenly disappears. Neave must put her beloved books down and take center stage, something she has been running from her entire life. And she must figure out what happened to Lilly – and if she’s next. Who Neave turns to help her makes Sharon Pywell's \u003ci\u003eThe Romance Reader's Guide to Life\u003c\/i\u003e one of the most original, entertaining, exciting, and chilling novels you will read this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flatiron Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047400751344,"sku":"9781250101754","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781250101754_p0.jpg?v=1763701951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781250101754","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
