A FORTUNE in lost treasure. Words of magic that make heart's soar with dreams - minds whirl with wonder. Off the coast of Key West, Florida two friends search for a 17th century Spanish galleon that foundered in a storm, strewing a king's ransom of gold, silver and precious jewels over the ocean floor. Over the years the treasure of the Dolores sinks below the shifting sands. Alex Cameron and Charlie Castle are obsessed with finding it. But they are stalked by a treacherous competitor, and a vengeful ex-lover. From the steamy bars of Key West, to the maritime achieves in Seville, to the shark infested depths of the ocean, the men and the women they desire embark on an adventure that can lead to riches, and does lead to death. It began as a lark. It became a challenge. It ended as an obsession.
