Sometimes life's most precious treasure lies at Dangerous Depths.
Leia ditched a promising medical career to settle on a secluded island of Hawaii. She ditched Bane, too, and he's come to the island to find out why. He's also in search of a fortune rumored to lie offshore. But an act of sabotage that pushes Bane closer to Leia plunges them both into a tangle of emotion--just as a series of threatening events grip the island.
Theft, a friend's death, a bizarre intruder, hints of a second treasure...and even murder--how can they sort it all out when everyone on the island has something to hide?
The novels in Colleen Coble's popular Aloha Reef Series combine mystery and suspense with tender romance in an irresistible island setting.

Ono held up a hand and took out his gun. “I’ll handle this, Pilgrim,” he said in a bad John Wayne imitation. What a goofball. Leia found a log and started to sit down. “Not
man and not a little kid. And that you gave me a pocketknife.” She forced herself not to cry out, but her arm hurt. “Such a silly name for me.” He let go. He was smiling again, and Eva found she could breathe. “All the kids call you that. It’s because of what a hotshot you are in basketball.” “Do you even know my real name?” She searched her memory. She’d heard it once, but it eluded her. “I can’t remember,” she said, hanging her head. “That’s okay, Eva. It’s better that way.” Eleven Leia

Just shut your yap so we can get this over with. I can’t wait to get back to civilization.” Leia’s steps lightened now that the end was in sight. She hurried along the path. From
