DANGER ON THE HIGH SEAS
Shipwreck diver Gage Fontaine is used to modern-day pirates chasing after his boat and the buried treasure he salvages. But when he unknowingly leads a dangerous criminal to the waters off Stepping Stones Island, he puts a beautiful fisherwoman in grave danger. Rachelle Thibodaux has spent the past year hiding on her boat to avoid the town’s censure for her father’s crimes. But when she comes face-to-face with a gun-wielding pirate, she becomes a new kind of target. To save her own life, she’ll have to work with Gage to find the treasure before the pirates do.

Summary
Overall Sunken Treasure by Katy Lee is part of the series we started with Miriam. For those of us following the series, it's exciting to hear Miriam mentioned and have
her play a small part in the novel. Owen, her husband and chief of police, plays a major role. He was not a fan of Gage and I was surprised that he came across so strong in their first few interactions. Although part of a series, each book can read alone. In Sunken Treasure, Rachelle is working at sea to avoid the townspeople after
her father’s crimes have been exposed. This makes for an interesting connection to the first book that I did not anticipate. The action starts from the very first scene and keeps your attention throughout. Gage Fontaine is a treasure hunter and has been running from his past for 15 years both literally and figuratively. Will it all come to an end here on Stepping Stones Island? I typically read a book purely for pleasure. However I found myself analyzing Rachelle and how she must feel dealing with the after effects of her father’s crime. I was contemplating her actions and thought process and how it must have been impacted. The scenes with her mom were heartbreaking. The plot of real pirates and treasure hunters was interesting and very well done. You don't see that in many contemporary novels mostly just historicals.
Katy was also able to throw in some plot twists and surprises that I didn’t see coming. I just love it when an author can surprise me!
Violence Someone is trying to kill them. Nothing described graphically or disturbing.
