The Reef

Marine archaeologist Tate Beaumont has a passion for treaure hunting--one that she shares with her father. Over the years they have had any fabulous finds, but one treasure has eluded them: Angeliques's Curse--a jeweled amulet heavy with history, dark with legend, and tainted with blood. It becomes bitterly clear that if the Beaumonts want to find Angelique's Curse, they can't do it alone, so they form a partnership with salvagers Buck and Matthew Lassiter.

Tate is infuriated . . . and unsettled, not only by the prospect of having to share this precious dream, but also by Matthew Lassiter. A sea-scarred diver whose past is shrouded in mystery and whose determination to uncover the ocean's secrets reveals Tate's, he has an agenda as murky as his past.

Forced to work--and dive--with the Lassiters, Tate grows more and more uneasy, as the transparent waters of the Caribbean thicken and darken with shadowy deceptions and hidden threats. The Beaumonts and the Lassiters know that pooling their assets and experience is the key to locating Angelique's Curse. But there are some things Matthew refuses to share--including the truth about his father's suspicious death several years earlier. For now, Tate and Matthew are reluctant partners--until danger, and desire, begin to rise to the surface...
