Archaeologist Lainey Shea has built her reputation by finding what others can't. Except her latest quest comes with a complication she never expected: Officer Declan Donovan. His protective instincts clash with her need to prove herself, but things heat up when their childhood rivalry reignites into something more romantically intriguing.

Declan wants Lainey to validate a two-century old family legend by locating a collection of silver tokens. Unfortunately, the stigma of his bad boy youth still follows him today, hiding his true good nature. When a bullet ricochets through their worksite, proving someone else knows where to search for the silver, they must nurture each other's strengths to defeat a common enemy.

Lainey can't afford to walk away from the biggest discovery of her career. Declan can't bear to watch her risk everything for his family's folklore. With both their futures on the line, they'll have to decide what's worth more: protecting their hearts or finding a treasure that could cost them everything.
