Submerged Hopes (The Helios Greek Romances Book 4)

Description

Nerissa lives in a world of silence, Deaf since tragedy robbed her of her parents and her hearing in a single week. Her aunt wants her to settle down, but Nerissa would rather be alone than “settle.” She catalogs museum artifacts, a far cry from her dreams of running on her own archaeological dig, but she’s determined to forge a career despite her disability. When Nerissa gets a chance to supervise the excavation of an ancient shipwreck, she’s thrilled, until a disastrous encounter at a networking function with a hot Navy man mortifies her. It gets worse: he’s assigned as her new sign language interpreter.

Lieutenant Nick Griffith loves Navy life, traveling the world and sampling all it has to offer, especially the women. He didn’t sign up to babysit some old professor scratching at the sea floor and shocked to find it’s the woman who dissed him at the party. Sparks fly, yet somehow she resists him. What the hell?

As the dig uncovers priceless artifacts and stirs the ghosts of her past, Nerissa is beset with offers of “collaboration” from peers who want in. She falls hard for Nick. He’s happy to bed her, but can she count on him if the wreck is spectacular enough to provoke murder?

A stand-alone novel in The Helios Series, Submerged Hopes is an immersive, steamy story featuring a young woman struggling to overcome a traumatic past, a swoon-worthy military hero, laugh-out-loud moments, and elements of suspense and danger.

Readers are calling it “a heart-pounding adventure” and “a smart, sexy, and satisfying romance.”
