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.
New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell plunges
into the adventurous and deadly world of underwater treasure
hunters in a heart-stopping tale that superbly combines
atmosphere, action, romance, and suspense.
After a family tragedy, Kate Donnelly left the Caribbean
behind forever. But a series of bad management decisions has
left her family's diving and marine recovery business
drowning in red ink. Now her brother pleads with her to come
back to the island nation of St Vincent. Without Kate's
financial expertise, the iconic treasure-hunting enterprise
started by her grandfather will go under. Unable to say no
to the little family she has left, Kate heads back to the
beautiful and terrifying ocean that still haunts her nightmares.
Holden Cameron was addicted to the adrenaline rush of active
duty—including narrowly surviving an underwater explosives
accident. The last thing the former British military diver
wants is to babysit a family of thieves on a tropical
island—even if they are the world-famous Diving Donnellys.
But in his new civilian job, Holden must investigate the
suspicious activity surrounding a Donnelly dive to recover
treasure from the ancient wreck of a pirate ship.
When equipment, treasure, and even divers begin to
disappear, Kate and Holden form an uneasy alliance to
uncover the truth. But the deeper they plummet into the
mystery, the closer they come to each other. Soon they are
sharing their deepest fears and darkest secrets—and a
combustible chemistry too hot to ignore.
