Hooked: Peter Pan falls for Captain Hook's daughter

Description

Peter Pan falls for Captain Hook's daughter... "Promise me you won't forget me." "Are you daft? I'd sooner forget my own name." But he did forget. And she didn't see him again for years. When she finally met him, he wasn't her Peter any longer: he was a stranger. A pirate. An enemy. When Wendy Hooke was a little girl, she saved a boy from starvation. The boy, Peter, taught her how to fly. Now the boy is a man, a gorgeous man, and he has forgotten all about her. She watches him take London’s ballrooms by storm, pursued by every designing mama, but Peter doesn’t even glance at her. Because it’s not ‘Peter’ now, it’s Lord Darlington. Peter Darlington hasn’t forgotten the girl who saved his life. In fact, he can't stop thinking about her. But his life is complicated. Forces stronger than himself, dark, vicious forces, are driving him into a life of danger and daily confrontations with death. He is no longer the teenaged boy who fell in love with Wendy Hooke. And now the webs of his secret gang that fights crime on the streets of London are closing in on the greatest criminal of all time, the Viscount Hooke. And Wendy…well, she is his daughter. Hooked is a heart-wrenching love story of enemies-to-lovers to enemies again. It alternates between sparkling adventure, shattering sadness and searing-hot romance. It is inspired by the tale of Peter Pan and the rich lore of Greek mythology, as well as the glorious history of the Greek Revolution of 1821. It is set in the glittering world of Regency London, and so, among all the anguish and kisses, the reader can expect to read all about sharp cheekbones, pirate ships, witty banter, painted ballrooms, fierce ladies and a roguish gentleman or two who are up to no good. One thing is certain: we are no longer in Jane Austen's Regency London. Filled with humor, steam, angst and hope, this is Regency as you've never read it before. Content warning for: Mental health issues, parental harm, criminal behavior (lots of it), an extremely cute but idiotic found family and an overload of pining. For more information about serious issues that might concern you, please contact the author. Hooked might look like a quick, fun read, but don’t be fooled: it will break your heart into a million pieces.
