|  | Wild Roses for Miss Jane by Hollie Van Horne
The weather isn't the only thing that's hot in the Caribbean! Miss Jane Engle has found a new home, security & a classroom full of smiling faces in her 1876 one room schoolhouse in Albany, New York. Choosing to teach rather than to marry handsome widower & father of one son, Garrett Michaels, Jane has found serenity...if not happiness & love. When Jane reads the pirate book young Trace Michaels has hidden in his school desk, Jane is transported to a 1722 British sailing ship that is being attacked by the notorious Caribbean pirate, Captain Garrett Michaels. Although he looks just as handsome as his 1870s counterpart, there are some major differences--the cruel & sinister look in his eyes & the sharp dagger he has pressed against her throat. Will Jane be able to tell the Albany Board of Education what she did on her summer vacation if she ever returns? Departure: June 1876 Albany, New York E.T. A. : June 1722 Caribbean Sea.
