Veronica (Ronnie) Jinkowsky is a strait-laced lawyer whose only risks in life seem to involve her four-time ex- husband, Jake Jenson. She has married him and divorced him four times. The two cannot seem to come together without sparks flying. Her nice boring Jake-less life is about to be set spinning by her estranged grandfather Frank. When Frank signs over his house, business, and other property to her, she seeks out Jake. She finds him at a poker tournament, one of the reasons for their numerous divorces, and finds that he has a fiancé. Using Jake's advice, she sees her grandfather. Frank tells her that he is facing bankruptcy and wants her to take over his treasure hunting company, Jinx, Inc. Will she give up her stable life to accept Frank's proposal? Will she be able to move past Jake?

Jake Jensen has come to a point in his life where he is ready to settle down with someone other than Ronnie; however, when she shows up at a poker tournament with a serious concern, he is ready to dismiss his fiancé. He joins Ronnie at Frank's house, and hears the proposal, but he knows that Ronnie detests boats and the ocean. He figures there is no way to lure her out on the treasure hunting expedition even if it is for pink diamonds. When they meet the other members of the team at Frank's request, Jake is jealous of the other men's interest in Ronnie. What is Frank's true intent in bringing them together for a treasure hunt? Is he ready to give up Ronnie without a fight?

Frank Jinkowsky has only one motive and that is to get Ronnie and Jake back together again. He wants them to be happy and knows that they will only be happy with each other. He will stop at nothing, and he recruits the help of some other individuals. Will Ronnie and Jake succumb to Frank's ploy?

Sandra Hill has written a fabulously funny story. Jake and Ronnie have a definite chemistry no matter how much they try to fight it. The secondary characters including some of those Cajuns are truly outrageous. Their scheming and conniving to reunite Jake and Ronnie adds tremendously to the story. PINK JINX is an entertaining tale that must be read.

SUMMARY

BAITED...

Caught! Straight-laced Boston lawyer Veronica "Ronnie" Jinkowsky knows something's fishy when her estranged grandfather lures her to his New Jersey treasure hunting business with woeful tales of old age and bankruptcy. But she never expected the salty old dog to shanghai her into a hunt for pink diamonds with her poker-playing, four-time ex-husband Jake Jensen in tow.

HOOKED...

Betting her heart on Jake was always a losing proposition; yet just the sight of his come-hither blue eyes is still enough to melt her steely resolve. Now she's on a high seas' adventure that throws together lost gems, lost ship, and lost love--not to mention a Mafia widow, her two goons, and an elderly Cajun matchmaker hankering for hanky- panky--

AND GOING DOWN FOR THE LAST TIME!

Ronnie is trapped with the man she could never learn to live with--and was never happy without. A jinx of the best possible kind.
