From New York Times bestselling author Lenora Worth…
He's a pirate, an adventurer-and Esther Carlisle has just let him into her New Orleans antiques shop. Cullen Murphy claims he knew Esther's late father…and that her wild-dreaming daddy discovered the true location of the legendary chocolate diamond. Esther knows she should show the handsome treasure hunter the door. And she will. In a minute. Everything changes when gun-wielding thugs barge in and start shooting. Esther may not trust Cullen, yet staying at his side is the only way for her to find the diamond first-and stay alive.
But some treasures can be found only with the heart….
From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith.
