After his last book bombed, Huck hasn't written a word. Joining Stella and her crew on an adventure seems like the perfect distraction from his problems, an...d when the crew finally uncovers hidden treasure, he is certain that he's found more than just inspiration for his next novel. Huck and Stella's undeniable connection gives way to an unforgettable night on a black sand beach. After Huck disappears without a goodbye, Stella vows to put the heartbreak behind her--but that's easier said than done when, a year later, every bookstore has a life-size cutout of her ex-lover next to stacks of his latest record-breaking bestseller. Good thing it's time for another summer treasure hunt. Stella throws herself into mapping the path to a shipwreck off Key West, but the last thing she expects is an extra crew member showing up in search of material for a sequel and a second chance. Stella and Huck are prepared for storms, sharks, sea sickness, even a tentative truce. But facing the feelings they buried and confronting the devastating truth about why Huck left is the only way to find what their hearts have been searching for all along"--

Review by Library Journal Review

A long and traumatic family history of treasure hunting hasn't put Stella Moore off the trail of a long-lost motherlode that includes the infamous and possibly cursed Elephant's Heart Diamond. Instead, it has brought her and her friends to hunt in the wilds of Iceland for the next part of the clue. Huck Sullivan has also traveled to Iceland, trying find his writing mojo after a failed book, a terrible confrontation with his father, and a subsequent bout of writer's block. When Stella and Huck meet in an Icelandic bar, it seems as if fate has brought them together. Huck helps interpret a poem that leads Stella to the treasure, and Huck's writing inspiration returns. However, after an intimate night together, Stella wakes to find Huck gone without a word. More than a year later, she's still nursing the hurt Huck caused, amplified by the recent release of his newest book about a treasure hunter. Huck has regretted leaving Stella ever since that fateful night and hopes to join her crew's latest hunt to repair the damage he has done. VERDICT Hubscher (Play for Me) returns with a tale destined to be enjoyed on a beach with its mismatched but charming duo.--Kellie Tilton
