A stolen treasure. A deadly chase. A love worth the fight. Keaton Cole has built a life on control. Once a fearless thrill-seeker, he learned the hard way that reckless adventure comes at a steep cost. After losing his fiancée in a tragic plane crash, Keaton swore he’d never love again—never risk his heart on someone who chased danger as recklessly as she had. Then Trinity Stevenson storms into his life. A wealthy socialite with a wild streak and a past she’s trying to outrun, Trinity isn’t the delicate woman Keaton once thought she was. She’s sharp and stubborn, and when trouble finds her in the form of ruthless pirates willing to do anything to claim a fortune lost at sea, Keaton is the only one standing between her and a watery grave. As Trinity becomes a target, Keaton finds himself breaking every rule he set to keep his heart intact. But the Everglades are unforgiving, and their enemies are relentless. If Keaton and Trinity want to make it out alive, they’ll have to trust each other with more than just their lives—they’ll have to risk their hearts, too.

Award-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she's traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. Ask her, and she'll tell you what it's like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it! Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. A former manager of computer programming and project management professionals, Elle is happy she now has the opportunity to pursue her writing full time.
