The Healer and the Pirate
She was an exotic healer hiding from the dangers lurking in her past...
Nessa Pearson wanted nothing more than to disappear into the everyday life of her quiet mountainside village. When a friend's urgent letter arrives, Nessa faces her fears and flies off to heal a sick child. But just when Nessa thinks she can lay her worries to rest, her safety vanishes in a cloud of smoke.
He was a pirate on a mission...
With his father at death's door, Aridin Nightstar would do anything to save him--even use a magic lamp to kidnap a beautiful healer. With a few delays, he spirits Nessa back to his ship, just like he'd planned. What he hadn't counted on was the white-skinned, blue-haired captive stealing his heart.
Can Nessa and Aridin overcome bandits, a bloodthirsty crew and Aridin's greedy mother to follow the Savior's plan?
The Healer and the Pirate is a full-length Christian Romance set in a fantasy world, suitable for adult and young adult readers. 77,000 words.

Enjoyable sweet read.

A contemporary fairy tale that I loved, as did my 13 yo daughter. Well-written and full of wonderful words of godly wisdom, I would highly recommend this book for anyone who likes to read romance, especially fairy-tale romance.
We all know the end-the guy and the girl get together. It happens that way in most romances (yes, I've read a few where they don't - and I've hated them), but the intriguing part about any book is finding what it takes to get them there. I didn't want to put this story down, but when I had to, I was just itching to get back to it.

I thought this was a great read. I loved the way the Christian theme was worked into the plot. The characters were well developed and interesting. Can't wait for book 2!
