The rarest treasure of all
Discredited journalist Adriana Bonacorda has a lead on the hottest story of the year—billionaire business titan Zachary Hale is accused of cheating investors! She’s so determined to talk to him that she follows him to the charming town of Bailey’s Cove, Maine.
When a hurricane traps Addy and Zach together, it’s her one chance to revive her career. But she’s shocked by the passion that springs up between them. Is Zach really a criminal? Or is there a reason for his silence? In a place founded by pirates, where a legendary treasure is supposedly hidden, Addy just might find something truly precious….
“Who are you?”
Zach heard her question, but raised his hammer and bent one of the nails anchoring the rope closer to the beam.
Addy was a reporter.
Anything he said could end up on the internet, in print and on television.
He looked into her face. The angle of her head, the lines of her mouth, even the slant of her eyebrows said she was asking because she wanted to know, not that she wanted to broadcast the information to the world.
No one had ever asked him that question, not his classmates, his coworkers, the women he dated. No one wanted the answer to that question.
She stepped in close, too close to ignore her.
The wind flapped the tarp and the rain smashed into it like the sound of distant gunfire.
He leaned in toward her and her lips parted as if she were about to ask a question, but she did not. He pressed his lips to hers and captured her gasp.
Readers, thank you so much! I hope you like Addy and Zach’s story.
Practically the only people who will talk to reporter Adriana Bonacorda are her blood relatives. Everyone else thinks she’s a liar, a con artist or both. Disgraced, broke and on the scent of a big story, Addy races from Boston to Maine—in a hurricane. Her quarry? Big-time swindler Zachary Hale. Exposing the deepest secrets of this billionaire schemer will put her right back on top of the journalist heap. But when she ends up at his mercy, she finds there is so much more to this man…and she finds her heart and her livelihood are in so much jeopardy.
And wait! Will they find All That Glitters—inside a pirate’s treasure chest?
