Stolen Treasures. Tropical Persuasions, #1

Uncharted waters, unlikely love: Sail into danger and desire in this modern-day pirates, enemies-to-lovers story. In the thrilling world of high-stakes adventure and unexpected romance, Claire Saunders and Dion Gaetani embark on an enforced journey that will test their limits and challenge their hearts. Determined to leave her troubled past behind, the last thing Claire needs is a band of pirates wreaking havoc in San Diego.
But fate has other plans. Against her will, she becomes a passenger aboard a schooner at sea, entangled in a dangerous covert operation. As she sails farther away from home, her absence could shatter everything she has worked so hard to build. Dion, a seasoned and guilt-ridden agent, can't believe he's been paired with a civilian. To make matters worse, she's a woman-an unwanted complication he doesn't need.
Haunted by a past mission gone wrong, he must now navigate the treacherous waters of capturing a rogue band of pirates. With the stakes higher than ever, Dion's own boat, the Treasure, becomes the irresistible bait. Forced to work in close quarters, Claire and Dion must confront their fears, trust each other, and face the undeniable desire that simmers beneath the surface. As danger looms and their mission intensifies, they discover that sometimes love can be found in the most unexpected of circumstances.
This first in the Tropical Persuasions series is an enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity romance that features a schooner with a mind of its own and betrayal and intrigue on the high seas.
