At 17, Kate Donnelly left the Caribbean island of St. Vincent after her parents died in a tragic diving accident. Her brother and grandfather still run the family underwater salvage business on the island. When her brother insists on her expertise with the financial books, Kate resolves to face what she's been running from for 15 years. Her job is to advise small businesses on how to operate profitably, so she can't refuse to help her own family business stay afloat. But the treasure-retrieval contract her brother has recently signed with a British company leaves little room for a gainful outcome.
Holden Cameron is the British company's representative with the power to shut down the entire diving operation if it doesn't show positive results with the items recovered from the ocean bottom. From the moment Holden and Kate meet, they both fight a strong sexual attraction. Succumbing to the temptation of an affair with Kate could be disastrous if Holden has to close down the dive. But the close proximity of sharing a small rental cottage and the tight confines of the dive ship means sex is constantly on their minds. It doesn't take long before they willingly surrender to the hot, steamy passion.
With divers continually quitting and even disappearing, the disparity Holden finds in the diving schedules and in the amount of treasure being located and retrieved has him convinced there's a very greedy thief involved in the operation. But finding out who the culprit is puts both Holden and Kate in serious danger.
Much-admired author Elizabeth Lowell gives her fans another rousing romantic suspense adventure in NIGHT DIVER. Passions run high in the beautiful island locale, while the underwater treasure-hunting plot device is fully developed and exciting.
