"Dread the unexpected... No longer the girl who came of age in Captain Hook's arms, Red-Handed Jill is a storyteller. She is a wife, mother, mistress- and murderess. Doctor Johann Heinrich is convinced he is Jill's rightful husband. His need to dominate her deepens. While he plots her recapture, Hook, Jill, and Cecco contrive Jill's visit to Italy to shelter among Cecco's gypsies. A complication arises: Hook and Jill are two halves of one soul, but to win trust from the Romani, Jill must forget her lover ever existed. The gypsy clan tests her loyalty to Cecco while Heinrich sways Jill's father, the credulous Mr. Darling. Darling sails with Heinrich, scuttling the trio's schemes to keep Jill out of her false husband's hands. Assisted by the treacherous DâeDâe LeCorbeau, French privateer, Heinrich maneuvers Jill to his home in Vienna. But before he turns his scar-marked back to the fleet, the doctor deposits an irresistible hindrance from Hook's history upon the Roger. To counter the consequences of her tales, Jill applies all her artifice, forging alliance with other women in her world. Danger is dreaded, but not unexpected, in a pirate's life. The Roger's company battens the hatches while Hook and Jill seize the prizes- and surprises- that their perils render. Below a turbulent surface, the story stirs currents of motherhood, of women supporting one another...and Time's inescapable trick of aging. Anchored in the Neverland, Andrea Jones' literary series examines humanity through the magical lens of fairy tale. Rich, witty, and immersive, The Wider World: Book Four of the Hook & Jill Saga presents a realm in which what one dreads...is expected"--
