A Treasure Lost (St. John #9)

Watching a man hang from a third-story window trying to escape an enraged husband is not the ideal first meeting, but then again, Camilla Hutchinson is not a typical woman either. Raised with a treasure-hunting father and a tyrant of a mother, Cammie knows a thing or two about taking risks. The naked daredevil before her is just the type of man she needs to help her find a hidden treasure. Now if only she can convince him of that.

Nathan St. John is a successful sea captain. After a delivery in Norfolk, his entire world changes thanks to a lying “widow” whose husband arrives home unexpectedly. He’s aided in his escape by a blonde stranger, but his rescuer is as brazen as they come. After meeting Cammie, he goes from being a successful captain to being wanted in two states. And to beat it all, his bold rescuer has sweet-talked him into helping her on some insane quest for hidden gold.

The duo fights their attraction to each other, yet soon they find that the temptation the other offers is too much to overcome. As their quest takes them south, can they survive what fate has in store, or will their love become nothing more than a treasure lost?
