He left the Navy to chart his own course. She's ready for a fresh start alone. Will a month together on a boat anchor them in love or make them drift apart for good?

Treasure hunter and deep-sea fishing guide Adam Parker's boat limped back to Liberty Cove after weeks of working at sea. With an engine still billowing smoke, he was served divorce papers he never saw coming. Now he has a choice to make—lose the love of his life or come up with a plan to save his marriage.

Years of unsuccessful fertility treatments put a damper on Julia Parker's dream of becoming a mother. But those dreams shattered completely when her husband suggested they stop the treatments to avoid financial ruin. Feelings of abandonment quickly settled in when Adam started spending all his time working at sea. With a new teaching job waiting for her in another town, she's ready to close this chapter of her life and move on.

Desperate to save his marriage, Adam proposes a deal to his wife: spend one month living with him and his foster dog on the boat. If she still wants to walk away after that, he'll sign the papers. Julia agrees, leaving Adam hoping he has enough time to convince her that their love is worth fighting for.

When mundane days at sea turn into a hunt for the treasure Adam's been looking for all his life, Julia finds unexpected glimmers of the man she fell in love with. Unsure if he's really as committed to a childless marriage as he claims, she wonders if this treasure hunt will add to her heartache or if they'll discover something even more valuable than pirate gold.
