New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell plunges into the
adventurous and deadly world of underwater treasure hunters in a
heart-stopping tale that superbly combines atmosphere, action, romance,
and suspense.
After a family tragedy, Kate Donnelly left the Caribbean behind forever.
But a series of bad management decisions has left her family's diving
and marine recovery business drowning in red ink. Now her brother pleads
with her to come back to the island nation of St Vincent. Without Kate's
financial expertise, the iconic treasure-hunting enterprise started by
her grandfather will go under. Unable to say no to the little family she
has left, Kate heads back to the beautiful and terrifying ocean that
still haunts her nightmares.
Holden Cameron was addicted to the adrenaline rush of active
duty--including narrowly surviving an underwater explosives accident.
The last thing the former British military diver wants is to babysit a
family of thieves on a tropical island--even if they are the
world-famous Diving Donnellys. But in his new civilian job, Holden must
investigate the suspicious activity surrounding a Donnelly dive to
recover treasure from the ancient wreck of a pirate ship.
When equipment, treasure, and even divers begin to disappear, Kate and
Holden form an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth. But the deeper they
plummet into the mystery, the closer they come to each other. Soon they
are sharing their deepest fears and darkest secrets--and a combustible
chemistry too hot to ignore.
