A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson

Anne Norris moved to Savannah, Georgia, for a fresh start. Now her pirate-tour business is flagging, and paying the rent requires more than wishful thinking. When she discovers evidence of a shipwreck off the coast of Tybee Island, she knows it could be just the boon she needs to stay afloat. She takes her findings to local museum director Carter Hale for confirmation, but she runs after a disastrous first meeting.

Carter has been searching for the location of the wreck detailed in the worn pages of an 18th-century diary, the discovery of which could open the door to his dream job at a prestigious museum. But convincing Anne to help him fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle is no easy task. And working with Carter means that Anne will have to do the one thing she swore she'd never do again: trust a man.

Finding a monetary backer and sticking with a search that's turning up nothing will take all their dedication--and every secret they've tried to hide. If they can find the lost ship, they may discover a treasure worth more than all the pirate gold in the world--love.

This a story about two people running from their past, trying to find their future.  Anne was wrongly accused of a felony and served time in jail.  Carter is running away from family expectations.   When Anne finds a treasure on the beach after a hurricane she takes it to the museum where Carter works.  Carter knows exactly what it is because he has a diary that describes it perfectly.  Anne has a lot of trust issues due to her previous experiences so she doesn't want to work with Carter at all.  They finally come to a truce. 

This is a good book and I would recommend it.  I was expecting a little bit more mystery but still a good book.  This is the second book in the series.  But it is not necessary to read the first book.

I was given this book by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
