Captain Rourke. He’s a former Navy officer, a brooding, gorgeous treasure hunter who lives his life on the ocean. I’m a small-town girl from Nebraska who’s barely even seen the sea. But when a mystery disease attacks my sister, I must team up with Rourke to find the sunken ship that holds the cure. He’s a loner, determined to push everyone away…but when he looks at me, he melts the clothes right off my body.

To save my sister, I’ll have to enter a whole new world of smugglers, sunken gold and deadly storms. In the close confines of Rourke’s boat, there’s no way I can ignore that smoldering gaze, or the way my legs go weak whenever he takes hold of me. He claims he’s no hero yet he protects me like no other…can I save him from the pain that’s tearing him apart? I’m from the prairies; he’s from the sea. But I need to learn his world, fast, because others want what’s on that sunken ship…and they’ll kill both of us to get it.

Standalone romance with guaranteed HEA and no cheating.
