Business mixes with treasure when a fake engagement spirals out of control and into a hunt for pirate’s gold on a tropical island.
“Sofia, will you marry me?”
The universe loves to mess with journalist Sofia Alvarez. She already lost her relationship and her job, forcing her to accept a roommate to afford rent—her way-too-hot former coworker turned foe, Barrett. Now thanks to her ex forgetting to cancel his prearranged kiss cam marriage proposal at a New York Pirates hockey game, Sofia is about to lose her dignity, too. And in front of Barrett, no less.
Barrett “Bear” Winston always had a thing for Sofia. But when a personal emergency had forced Bear back to the UK, he’d all but ruined any chance he had with her. So, as he watches her heart shatter in front of thousands on the Jumbotron, he does what any self-respecting white knight would do to make amends—he drops to one knee and fake-proposes to save Sofia the embarrassment.
But the adventure is only beginning for the would-be bride and groom, as they are surprised by an all-inclusive trip to the island off the coast of Belize that inspired the hockey team’s seafaring mascot. When it looks like there might be real treasure on the island and finding it could be their big career break, Sofia and Bear must decide whether it’s time for a parlay and whether they can finally go from hate to mate.

Author
Jo Segura
USA Today bestselling author Jo Segura lives in the Pacific Northwest with her doggo, who vies for her attention with his sweet puppydog eyes whenever she’s trying to write. Her stories feature strong, passionate heroines and draw upon aspects of her life, such as her Mexican heritage and her fascination with archaeology. When she’s not writing, you can find her practicing law, perusing the aisles at Trader Joe’s, or sitting out on the patio doing BuzzFeed quizzes (though she doesn’t care what the chicken nugget quiz said—her favorite fruit is not banana).
