A long and traumatic family history of treasure hunting hasn’t put Stella Moore off the trail of a long-lost motherlode that includes the infamous and possibly cursed Elephant’s Heart Diamond. Instead, it has brought her and her friends to hunt in the wilds of Iceland for the next part of the clue. Huck Sullivan has also traveled to Iceland, trying find his writing mojo after a failed book, a terrible confrontation with his father, and a subsequent bout of writer’s block. When Stella and Huck meet in an Icelandic bar, it seems as if fate has brought them together. Huck helps interpret a poem that leads Stella to the treasure, and Huck’s writing inspiration returns. However, after an intimate night together, Stella wakes to find Huck gone without a word. More than a year later, she’s still nursing the hurt Huck caused, amplified by the recent release of his newest book about a treasure hunter. Huck has regretted leaving Stella ever since that fateful night and hopes to join her crew’s latest hunt to repair the damage he has done.
VERDICT Hubscher (Play for Me) returns with a tale destined to be enjoyed on a beach with its mismatched but charming duo.
