Star Fisher refuses to let the scar marring her face dictate her choices or the dreams haunting her nights affect her life. A skilled scuba diver and underwater investigator, she assists in the salvage operation of a sunken Model T, but will it reveal its secrets? Captivated by the feisty diver, captain Hauk Ludvikson struggles against his attraction as they explore the old automobile linked to the unsolved disappearance of a rich heiress. As past crimes create new ones, he must decide if he wants to protect Star or protect his heart. With danger lurking under and above the water line, Star fights for her future—a future she may not salvage twice.
J.S. Marlo spent her childhood in a small French Canadian town, reading and daydreaming stories. One day, she met her hero, a dashing young officer, and followed him back and forth across the country.
The "memorable" adventures she experienced with her young family fuelled her imagination and kindled the dream of one day becoming a published author. When her three spirited children left the nest in pursuit of their own adventures, J.S. gave writing a chance.
J.S. currently lives in Alberta with her amazing hubby, and when she's not visiting her children or spoiling her little granddaughter, she's working on her next novel under the northern lights.

I loved this book. I could not put it down. I was quite surprised because it really is not my type of book. Star was the spunky and independent female character that I adore and her hero Hauk was the strong, silent and protective man that I love. Their love story was not at the forefront of the story but rather the mystery of why there was a Model T at the bottom of the lake and how it was connected to Star.
Star is in the middle of crazy and bizarre unsolved murder mystery. She does not know why she is other than the fact that she has nightmares about it. She is like a cat with 9 lives who has many people protecting her.
I also really liked how fast paced the book was. I never knew what was going to happen next. The “bad guys” were slightly crazy and made me think about their intentions at every turn. The author did a great job at keeping me guessing and made me care for all the characters, not just Star and Hauk.
I also loved the fact that this book is written by a fellow Canadian. I definitely will be going out and buying her other books.
