The trail of a Civil War ghost leads Isabel Byrne to the Colorado River and Lake Mohave. When a diver washes up with evidence of the Holy Grail of Civil War legends, she finds herself caught between a group that would kill her to keep their secrets and prison time.
Tomas Armijo does not trust Isabel Byrne as far as he could throw her. He has fallen for the wrong woman before, and it had cost him two years in the slam. To find the diver's missing brother, Tomas is going to have to stand up to his past and put his heart on the line.
Miranda Nading lives and works in the Pacific Northwest. She writes stories for readers who like their fiction raw, tense, and rooted in survival. Best known for the Extinction Series, she weaves together her love of science, resilience, and humanity pushed to the edge.
Before dedicating herself to storytelling, Miranda served in the military and worked in law enforcement, later adding scuba diving and aviation to her list of adventures. Combined with her Arkansas upbringing and deep connection to the land, these experiences give her novels a gritty realism that fans return to again and again.
When she isn’t writing, Miranda enjoys old homestead crafts, gardening, and canning the fruits of her labor — all with a strong cup of coffee close at hand.
This was a nice romance full of adventure. There was good chemistry between the main characters and I loved reading about the diving and the history. Rather than the standard romance of instalove/instasex, there is plenty of meat to this story and plenty going on around the characters besides just their growing affection for each other. I also liked the fact that even though they were attracted to each other, they were both able to actually function without ripping each others clothes off every time one of them looked at the other.
Eldorado Gold, I love it. Miranda Nading has all the components in place for a true thriller. A smooth read, well written. Fast paced and plunging from one action scene into another as the plot unfolds. Totally believable and well researched. In some respects it has the feel of a Clive Cussler book at its best, but hers is far better. I highly recommend this book. P.S. I understand the cover will be changed. Can't think why she used it. It is not that sort of book.
