A cursed diamond. A treacherous past. One woman's race to outrun both. Eve Devereaux left the hustle behind when she finally bought her own charter boat. But it's storm season in the Azores, tourists are scarce, and her monkey has to eat. Swiping the local jerk's poker winnings would have kept her afloat another month...but that was before she wound up with a bleeding monk on her deck, a squall at her back, and the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond around her neck-a stone said to have toppled kings, ignited wars, and cursed anyone who possessed it. Now, the world's most dangerous men won't stop until the balance of power tilts back in their favor. Dragged into a centuries-old conspiracy spanning three continents, Eve must outwit cutthroat mercenaries, confront a traitorous ghost from her past who knows the truth about her, and somehow return the stone to its ancient Indian temple if she wants to survive. She might have a chance with the help of an eccentric old mariner and his complicated first mate, unless the diamond's curse catches up with her first. Can she outrun who she's been long enough to become who she's meant to be? Perfect for fans of J.F. Penn, Ernest Dempsey, and Steve Berry, this series debut is a fast-paced adventure thriller steeped in ancient myths, secret societies, and a reckoning centuries in the making!
