      A life-changing discovery

      Mia Parker’s restaurant-in-progress is the best shot Bailey’s Cove has at survival. That is, until a two-hundred-year-old skeleton is unearthed on-site. It doesn’t help that the investigator—sexy, guarded anthropologist Daniel MacCarey—instantly charms her to distraction. Add in rumors that the remains belong to a pirate—and that his treasure might be buried nearby. Mia’s trapped in the mystery that jeopardizes everything.

      Despite the risks, Daniel can’t resist offering to help Mia. Nor can he fight the attraction that reels him in. And working together, they may find a treasure better than any other….

      Daniel made himself let go of Mia’s soft warm hand

      What he wanted to do was take that hand and put it against his heart to tell her how much he had hated leaving her so early this morning, how much he loved to touch her, have her touch him.

      What he needed to do now was to keep his hands, his lips and everything else off her. She did not need his hang-ups in her life.

      She looked away and instead focused on the documents in front of her. “Liam Bailey’s account of maintaining law and order in the early eighteen hundreds is a combination of fascinating and dead dog boring.”

      “I don’t suppose he built a tomb and walled a man up in it.”

      She sputtered out a laugh. “hope not. He and his legend have messed me around enough.”

      “Remind me not to cross you.”

      “Oh, please, you have crossed me too many times to count.”

      He stopped studying the file in his hand and gave her a wry look.

      “Okay. So some of the times you crossed me, I liked it.”

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you so much to the readers of my books.

      Come to Maine this time! Mia Parker has been out in the world, and she knows her small hometown of Bailey’s Cove is rare and special. The people value friendship, family and the legend of their pirate founder—and his treasure. When Daniel MacCarey arrives here, his intentions are not to instigate a treasure hunt that may destroy the town, nor does he set out to break Mia Parker’s heart—but will he do both?

      I hope you enjoy Mia and Daniel’s story as they each face their demons and search for their own treasure.

      I’d love to hear from you. Visit my website at www.marybrady.net or write to me at [email protected].

      Warmest regards,

      Mary Brady
