Here’s the tempting tidbit from the back cover:

An innocent quest for lost family treasure turns into a cat-and-mouse game as four colleagues evade an unseen enemy and race to find the solution to a centuries-old pirate’s puzzle….

Adventure and respite from the summer’s tragedies are all Lexy Nichols and boyfriend Jack Hughes are searching for when they travel to the Turks and Caicos Islands. With clues in hand, they consult with their Caribbean-connected friend Matt Aldridge. Enlisting the expertise of Matt’s frenemy, Fiona Dwyer, Lexy and Jack believe they will discover his ancestor’s—Calico Jack Rackham’s—missing pirate bounty.

The team dodges danger and bullets and soon unearths a portion of the lost loot: a mysterious, solitary sapphire. And they are shocked to uncover another cryptic message from the past. Unbeknownst to the foursome, they unravel the next mystery with crosshairs targeting them.

Disaster strikes again, and four become two. Matt and Fiona must set aside their differences and travel to St. Augustine, Florida in pursuit of the fortune. But back on U.S. soil, they find themselves hunted by a deadly foe willing to stop at nothing to steal the treasure.

Join Lexy on an adventure that whisks her from the Caribbean to Manhattan as she fends off a ruthless killer determined to recover priceless, long-lost gems.

To tempt you further, here’s the snippet from the back cover:

Stolen pirate jewels surface, and a three-hundred-year-old vendetta ravages modern-day Manhattan.

Flying into a hurricane terrifies jewelry buyer Alexandria Nichols. But more disturbing is what she faces after obtaining the priceless emeralds—believed lost centuries ago—at a Bahamian estate auction. Lexy returns with the jewels to New York City, and havoc is unleashed. The lethal history of the gemstones reveals itself, bit by cursed bit.

Entangled in a search for the truth that spans generations, Lexy struggles to make sense of the tragedies swirling around the gems. Her investigation exposes her client’s seeming betrayal as she learns the sordid details behind the pirate jewels’ origins. When Jack Hughes, her client’s supposed nephew appears, Lexy must decide if he’s trustworthy or another player in a deadly game.

Anxiety and paranoia stalk her as she juggles work and her mounting attraction to Jack. The body count rises, forcing Lexy to rely on information from dubious sources to set a trap for the killer. She follows her intuition and discovers more than she anticipated ….
