by Nora Roberts ~
Sea Swept brought the name Nora Roberts to the top of the New York Times list for the very first time--but with more than 35 million copies sold and countless previous bestsellers (six in 1996 alone!), readers and booksellers have long known the power of that name..and expected the very best in suspense and romance from her books. With The Reef, Nora Roberts presents the story of Tate Beaumont, a beautiful student of marine archaeology--and Matthew Lassiter, a sea-scarred young man who shares her dream of finding Anguelique's Curse, the jeweled amulet surrounded by legend and said to be long lost at the bottom of the sea. Forced into a reluctant partnership with Matthew and his uncle, Tate soon learns that her arrogant but attractive fellow diver holds as many secrets as the sea itself. And when the truth emerges about the mysterious death of Matthew's father eight years earlier, desire--and danger--begin to rise to the surface. True to form, Nora Roberts offers a story of grand passion and gripping adventure, bringing her devoted fans to the hidden undersea world..and to the deepest parts of the human heart.
