A small town sheriff trying to put this gold hunt to rest once and for all. A woman from his past, running from her ex. Will they keep each other's secrets and open their hearts once again?
Chance Cross only knew one thing; whoever was going after his family--would pay. And he would put this gold hunt to rest once and for all. Even if it meant leaving Cross Creek and going undercover in South Port. He had a journal that showed the gold was still in this beach town and he would prove it.
Kelly Hamilton never meant to end up in South Port. She never meant to run into Chance Cross, and she really never meant to wind up smack dab in the middle of a gold hunt ... and be running from her ex--but life had funny ways.
When she agrees to team up with Chance to find the gold its' on one condition; he tell no one she's pregnant. She doesn't know what she's going to do and ... she can't let her ex find out.
Will the feelings from the past and conquistador gold pull them together or tear them apart?
As the Cross siblings get tested, they find they have to do the one thing their father always wanted them to do; trust each other and protect the land that is their legacy.
Please enjoy three bonus books; Flirting with your FBI Heartbreaker,Flirting with your Hollywood Heartbreaker, and Flirting with your Ex-Best Friend Billionaire Fiancé.
Excerpt:
Kelly found the rush of diving indescribable. Trent took them down a couple times with him, and then he let them go on their own. Of course, they were connected to an oxygen tank, and it wasn’t that deep. It was so cool to be underwater and look around.
“You don’t want to go anywhere without a partner,” Trent had cautioned them. “Sometimes you can get disoriented, and your partner will save your life.”
Hand in hand, Kelly and Chance went over every nook and cranny. There was a little cave in this area, and she waved Chance forward. He shone his water flashlight on the walls, and they inspected the hieroglyphs engraved into the cave face. She wondered if this area of the caves had been out in the open a long time ago. Since her phone was waterproof, she took pictures of all the symbols. They found matches for the cross and the skull, and there were other carvings as well—bird carvings that she hadn’t seen before, as well as different versions of the cross and skull. Maybe they could somehow date them and figure out how long the symbols had been there.
There was something else that she couldn’t recognize at first. After staring at it for a minute, she realized it looked like a rose. She snapped a picture of it.
Chance took her to another area of the cave, where she snapped pictures of swords and what looked like some kind of face. She stooped low, and Chance had to come with her as she found something else. It looked like a heart, but it was broken and there was an L and a D in it. Had the Stones’ parents engraved it, or was it older?
Everything fascinated her, and she was startled when Trent started yanking on the ropes. They went up, and he asked them how they were doing as he helped them take off the gear.
“I’m great.” She felt exhilarated and happy and like she finally had a purpose in her life. Then she remembered that she was pregnant with Brian’s baby. No. Her baby.
Chance paused in taking off his gear, seeming to notice her change of mood. “What’s wrong?”
She didn’t want to tell him what she was thinking. “Nothing. This has been the best.” She smiled at Trent and then made a joke about the broken heart they’d found at the bottom.
Trent’s face lit up. “We have a story about L and D. They were lost lovers, and maybe when D found her, she was already dead, and he wrote their initials at the bottom to commemorate her.”
“Is that true?” That sounded horrible.
Chance laughed. “It can’t be true.”
“I think my sister Kensi wrote a story about it,” Trent said. “You should ask her.”
“Kensi writes stories?”
Trent puffed his chest out proudly. “She writes all kinds of stories and has started publishing them online. She writes under the name Kensi Stone, and she has a whole bunch of stories about me and my family. Of course, she’s changed our names. I’ve read them, and she’s talented.”
Kelly was finding out a lot about the Stone family today. She didn’t remember reading anything about Kensi being a writer.
Trent looked around, seeming disappointed. “I don’t think we found anything. That’s a bummer. I guess I’m used to it by now, but it’s still hard.”
Suddenly, the tide seemed to shift and all the water in the cave started moving.
“What’s going on?” Kelly asked, clinging to Chance.
Trent hurried to toss some of his scuba gear farther up on the shore. “Honestly, I don’t know. It seems like the tide changed, or something happened. I’ve never seen this before.”
The water churned faster and faster, and some of Trent’s scuba gear started going with it. He dove down to try to retrieve it.
Kelly wasn’t sure how long the water drained; maybe five or ten minutes. It settled down over time, but she was worried about Trent.
Luckily, he reemerged, and he was laughing. “I can’t believe it. There’s a whole intricate system of caves down here that I’ve never seen. When the tide took all of that water, some of the dirt moved with it, like it was sucked out. Let’s put on our gear and check it out.”
* * *
Chance and Kelly put their gear back on. Then they waded out into the water and dove down. Trent had them all hold hands, and he guided them toward a cave that Chance hadn’t seen only minutes before. How strange that the seas would change so suddenly. It felt like something else was in control of all this.
Maybe God’s hand?
He wondered what Kelly would think of that. He still was reeling from their conversation the night before. She’d said she wasn’t sure if she would keep the baby, and then her mind had changed overnight. Would he want to be part of her life, even if she had a baby?
Of course.
He was startled by how quickly the answer came to him.
If she wanted him around.
Trent was gesturing around the cave. They couldn’t hear what he was saying, but he seemed emphatic about this place.
They all started exploring. In the corner was a chest. It wasn’t clear until Chance ran his hand across the top and felt the metal. Trent signaled for them to pick it up and take it. Chance tugged at it, but it was heavy. With some heaving, they managed to carry the chest back, and he was grateful for his flippers propelling him onward.
Chance kept his eye on Kelly as she tagged along with them.
When they got back to their base camp, he and Trent lobbed the chest to the top.
Trent ripped his mouth guard out and said, “I can’t believe this. I seriously can’t believe this.”
They all scrambled to get up on the side and took their scuba gear off.
The chest was locked, and Trent messed with the combination. It wasn’t ancient, probably manufactured in the eighties. “We’ll have to take this back and just smash it or cut it or blowtorch it.”
Trent pulled out his phone and called Trey.
Suddenly, it turned into a family call with all of the siblings.
They tried different combinations. Then Kensi said, “Try Mom and Dad’s anniversary. 10-26-69.”
Trent gave her an incredulous look, but he obeyed.
Amazingly, the lock clicked open.
