Some depths can't be measured in fathoms.

Dr. Maya Sterling has devoted her career to finding what others can't. As one of the world's most respected marine archaeologists, she's built her reputation on uncovering underwater treasures that rewrite history. But the legendary Trident of Poseidon—rumored to control the very seas themselves—has eluded scientists and treasure hunters for centuries. When a fragment of ancient pottery suggests the mythical artifact might be more than legend, Maya knows she's racing against time and rivals to make the discovery of a lifetime.

There's just one problem: accessing the remote, treacherous waters where the trident is believed to rest requires someone who knows the Aegean's moods and secrets as intimately as their own heartbeat.

Nikos Stavros has salt water in his veins. The third-generation fisherman navigates the Mediterranean with an almost supernatural connection to its depths, his weathered boat as familiar as an extension of himself. While he may scoff at academics and their theories, he can't afford to turn down the American professor's substantial offer—not with his village struggling and his father's medical bills mounting.

As their search takes them to hidden coves and submerged caves along the breathtaking Greek coastline, respect reluctantly blooms between the practical fisherman and the passionate scholar. But the Aegean guards its secrets jealously. Treacherous currents, deadly marine predators, and ruthless treasure hunters willing to kill for the trident's power all threaten their quest. And as danger mounts above and below the surface, Maya and Nikos discover an attraction as powerful and unpredictable as the sea itself.

For Maya, giving her heart to a man rooted in tradition when her own life lies an ocean away seems impossible. For Nikos, trusting a woman who sees his beloved sea as merely a research site goes against everything he believes. Yet as they dive deeper into myth and mystery, they might just find a treasure more valuable than any artifact.

Will the legend of Poseidon bring them together, or drag them under?

Perfect for fans who love their romance with ocean spray and ancient myths, "Tident of Poseidon" delivers sun-drenched adventure and sizzling chemistry against the stunning backdrop of the Greek islands. This standalone novel in Cora Price's Heart & Treasure series continues her signature blend of legendary quests, heart-stopping action, and love stories that run fathoms deep.
