Where cursed treasures rule the seven seas and love runs deeper than any ocean
Lost somewhere in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean lies a legend that has haunted sailors for centuries, the Emerald of the Sea Serpent, a cursed gem said to grant its bearer dominion over the seven seas and the power to command wind, wave, and storm.
Captain Elena Cruz, a notorious modern-day pirate hunter whose high-tech vessel and military training make her the Caribbean's most feared bounty hunter, has spent years tracking the criminal crews who terrorize these waters. When ancient maritime records surface pointing to the emerald's location, she finds herself reluctantly partnered with Dr. James Whitmore, a distinguished British naval historian whose extensive knowledge of pirate lore and cutting-edge maritime archaeology makes him invaluable—and insufferably proper.
Their perilous alliance: locate the Emerald of the Sea Serpent before ruthless modern pirates claim it to fund their criminal enterprises. But today's Caribbean waters guard their secrets with deadly determination—heavily armed pirate crews use speedboats and satellite technology to hunt their prey, international naval forces patrol these waters with orders to capture both pirates and vigilante hunters alike, and the growing attraction between the fierce sea captain and the scholarly historian threatens to compromise their high-stakes mission.
As Elena and James navigate from hidden pirate bases to storm-lashed Caribbean islands using GPS and sonar technology, they must battle not only vengeful modern buccaneers and international maritime law, but the undeniable passion building between them. In waters where ancient curses still whisper through ocean winds, will their deepening love prove to be their salvation—or will it drag them both into the depths?
Perfect for readers who love:
- Action-adventure romance set in the exotic modern Caribbean
- Ancient pirate legends meets contemporary technology
- Maritime archaeology and naval history
- Enemies-to-lovers romance with high seas action
- Strong heroines and distinguished British heroes
- Caribbean islands and modern treasure hunting
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of today's Caribbean—from high-tech pirate strongholds to luxury resort islands—this standalone novel delivers pulse-pounding adventure, steamy romance, and a love story as timeless as the tides themselves. From cursed emeralds to modern pirate hunters, Emerald of the Sea Serpent proves that sometimes the greatest treasure isn't gold or gems—it's finding someone worth sailing to the ends of the earth for.
Can be read as a standalone or as part of the bestselling Heart & Treasure series—where every adventure leads to the ultimate treasure: love.
ABOUT THE SERIES
ABOUT THE SERIES
Escape to a world of stolen artefacts, secret maps, and slow-burn chemistry.
The Heart & Treasure Collection by Cora Price is your binge-read if you love romantic action–adventure, globe-trotting mysteries, and clever heroines who can outthink a curse and outclimb a rival. Each book sends you to a new, cinematic location—Egyptian tombs, Venetian palazzos, Mayan temples, desert fortresses, sunken cities—where history isn’t just background, it’s the puzzle the couple has to solve.
Written for readers who devour The Mummy, National Treasure, or Clive Cussler–style archaeology thrillers but want more heart with the high stakes, this series blends:
- treasure-hunt romance
- rivals-to-lovers / partners-in-danger
- elite explorers, scholars, and rogues
- ancient legends with modern villains
- one mission, one kiss… maybe one bed
Across the series you’ll find strong, capable female leads, protective-but-respectful heroes, and antagonists who’ll do anything to own the past. Every mystery is self-contained, but the universe is connected—so you can start at Book 1: Sun God’s Heart and read straight through, or pick the artefact/world mythology that calls to you.
