The Billionaire's Wake

A legendary wreck. A trap built from his own ambition.

Grayson Vareaux's new world is bigger, richer, and almost impossible to penetrate: a luxury treasure-hunting operation built around a superyacht, deep-sea exploration, elite investors, and the promise of fortunes sitting untouched on the ocean floor for centuries. The technology is real. The data looks convincing. When his expeditions begin producing actual centuries-old gold, even the skeptics want in.

What the investors don't know is that Grayson has learned how to manufacture certainty. Ava Ashford knows exactly how he does it, because she knows the man underneath. This time she doesn't come after him directly. She gives him something far more dangerous: a mysterious investor with almost unlimited capital, a marine archaeologist with reasons of her own for being aboard, and a legendary shipwreck surrounded by rumor and missing history. La Quimera.

Soon Grayson is convinced an unseen rival is racing him to the wreck. Someone is surveying the same waters. Someone understands his systems. So Grayson does what he has always done: he moves faster, takes bigger risks, and trusts the one thing that has never failed him, himself.

Then the ocean turns. A hurricane is moving toward the expedition. The wreck is below. The evidence is aboard. And Grayson Vareaux is nearly two kilometers beneath the surface, reaching for the one prize he believes will prove he was right all along.
