Rick McKinnon is on the hunt for booty...

...pirate booty, that is. With one week left to find the hidden trove before his mafia boss investor starts busting kneecaps, Rick discovers the location is inside a 200-year-old well on private property. Unfortunately, claustrophobic Rick gets stuck.

The last thing Willow Wilde needs after moving away from her thieving ex is to rescue a sexy hustler from her well. But when the fortune hunter offers a piece of buried treasure in exchange for her help, Willow gets swept into an adventure sure to solve her money woes and add to her man troubles. As long as she can guard against Rick’s sultry charms, she won’t get hurt again.

But the two aren’t the only ones searching for the lost loot, and a threat from the past will do anything to get the gold. It’s now a race against time as Rick and Willow chase a string of clues throughout the small town of Candlewood Falls. And to survive this dangerous game, they’ll have to learn to trust each other with their lives…and their hearts.

Read an excerpt: 

Willow donned the gloves and hard hat with 360º Halo light. “You should know, I’m a bit of a treasure hunter myself. One of my hobbies is Geocaching.”

Rick snickered. “That’s cute.”

“Don’t be rude. Geocaching is a type of treasure hunting.”

“Yes, with coordinates, clues, and a plastic cache at the end. It’s not real. That’s like telling Bruce Springsteen you’re a bit of a rock star because you sing karaoke. Or telling Dax Fabion you’re a bit of a pro hockey player because you play a few pickup games at the ice rink on weekends. Or telling—”

“Okay. I get it. But for your information, I found over a thousand Geocaches. All I’m saying is you can have confidence that if there is a treasure down there, I’ll find it.”

Rick went quiet for a moment as he searched her eyes. “I do have confidence in you, Willow,” he said without a hint of irony.

“Thank you.” She couldn’t break away from his mesmerizing deep blue eyes. He really was a good-looking guy. She usually wasn’t into men with facial hair, but for some reason, the dark stubble suited him and gave him a rugged, sexy vibe. Maybe it was the strong jaw or the high cheekbones. Well, whatever spell Rick McKinnon’s face had over her, she wanted to get to know him better. 

Rick raised an eyebrow in question.


Realizing she stared too long, she cleared her throat. 


“Be careful on the ladder,” he said. “You should have plenty of light. The Halo works great. It’ll light up the well bright as day down there. You ready?”


“I am.” Her heart pounded with all the excitement of a real treasure hunt and the anticipation of opening a chest filled with gold and jewels.
