Crossbones: A Rikki Talens Adventure Book 1

A legendary pirate treasure. A ruthless rival. And a trail that leads straight into danger.

When marine historian Rikki Talens uncovers clues to one of the greatest pirate hoards ever rumored to exist, she knows history is about to come alive—and someone else knows it too. As the hunt pushes deeper along the Gulf Coast, Rikki finds herself racing against mercenaries, deadly traps, and a powerful enemy determined to claim the prize at any cost.

Smart, relentless, and unwilling to back down, Rikki must rely on her wits and courage to stay one step ahead. Because some treasures were buried for a reason—and the truth behind this one is guarded by blood.

Fast-paced, atmospheric, and packed with danger, Cross Bones is a high-stakes adventure where the past refuses to stay buried.
