January 17, 2026 By The Suspense Zone

An adventurous billionaire on a mission…
A former CIA agent finding her bearings…
Treasures lost to time…

Hired to protect her employer’s older brother, former CIA agent Raynelle Dryden gets too personal with him in a treasure hunt, and both inadvertently introduce the other to new enemies in this Christian romantic suspense.

A dangerous quest…

Billionaire treasure hunter Benjamin Glynn is on a quest to find pirate Blackbeard’s lost treasures. So are his competitors, who stop at nothing to win the race. Benjamin finds himself unable to proceed as obstacle after obstacle comes his way.

A displeased protector…

Afraid that Benjamin is too reckless, his sister hires former CIA agent Raynelle Dryden to tag along on his escapades. Raynelle needs the money to fund a secret project she hasn’t told anyone about, but being involved in Benjamin’s adventure exposes him to her own shadow enemies.

A dark enemy or two or more…

As they get closer to unearthing the truth about where Blackbeard hid his treasures that no one has yet discovered, Raynelle and Benjamin find themselves walking into the crosshairs of their enemies. The foes have their own goals, even if it means destroying Benjamin and Raynelle, and everyone around them, in the process. Who will blink first?
