[Treasure Hunters 01] • Beyond the Tide

A scandal in the making...

A reality show romance is exactly what historian Ava Emerson promises to avoid in light of her father’s impending presidential bid. Yet, when the historical reenactment show she signed up for turns out to be a pirate-themed reality competition, she finds herself stuck on a tall ship in the middle of the ocean. Worse yet, she’s the only female among ten incredibly attractive and maddening male contestants. A romance with her seems to be is the only thing on everyone’s mind whether she likes it or not.

Ian Sinclair is fresh off the messiest and most public breakup of his life which is soon to be aired on Treasure Hunters, the reality show which documents his work as a marine archaeologist and diver. Living History: Pirate’s Plunder is the chance he needs to show the world and his sponsors that he’s a guy who can be trusted. The last thing his tattered image needs is another on screen romance.

Drawn together by friendship and faith, Ian and Ava dare not acknowledge the attraction developing between them. However, the challenges and threats of a world beyond the influences and expectations of reality make a romance that should be forbidden become a necessity—as long the cameras are rolling. Will this real-for-the-show-romance become an unexpected blessing or the scandal neither of them need?
