Some treasures are worth more than gold, and some secrets are worth the risk of discovery.
Marine archaeologist Lely Swan has spent her career uncovering the ocean's hidden stories, but the 18th-century shipwreck off Havenbrook's coast promises to be her most significant find yet. The vessel's origins are shrouded in mystery, its cargo unknown, and local legends speak of a treasure that has lured fortune hunters for generations—none of whom ever found what they were seeking.
Tig Spade knows more about the wreck than he's willing to admit. As the town's respected museum curator, he's built his reputation on scholarly research and careful preservation of history. But when Lely's investigation threatens to expose secrets his family has guarded for centuries, he finds himself caught between professional duty and personal loyalty—and dangerously drawn to the brilliant woman who could unravel everything.
Forced into an uneasy partnership by funding requirements and local politics, Lely and Tig begin a careful dance of collaboration and concealment. She sees his extensive knowledge of maritime history as invaluable; he sees her relentless pursuit of truth as a threat to everything he's sworn to protect. But as they dive deeper into the mystery—both literally and figuratively—their intellectual sparring gives way to undeniable chemistry.
Through underwater expeditions, late-night research sessions, and the gradual uncovering of a love story that mirrors their own, they'll discover that some treasures can only be found when you're brave enough to trust someone with your deepest secrets. Even if it means risking everything you've worked to protect.
A thrilling mystery romance about buried secrets, dangerous discoveries, and the courage to dive deep for love.
