Description
Can a former privateer and a determined heiress find lost treasure in 1725? Pasts collide in New Orleans when a treasure goes missing.
The last time New Orleans attorney Jean-Luc Valmont saw Maribel Cordoba, a Spanish nobleman’s daughter, she was an 11-year-old orphan perched in the riggings of his privateering vessel proving herself as the best lookout on his crew. Until the day his infamy caught up with them all, and innocent lives were lost.
Unsure why he survived, but vowing to make something of the chance he was given, Jean-Luc has buried his past life so deep that no living person will ever find it – until a very much alive and very grown-up Maribel Cordoba arrives on his doorstep and threatens all he now holds dear.

There is an onscreen death, but it is simple: “And he shot a bullet through his heart.” A sentence like that, and then the chapter ends and the scene changes.
Also, men dying on a sinking ship. One bad guy assumed to have drowned, but is found later to not have drowned.
I wasn’t sure how to rate this. It feels Mild to me, as the battles aren’t long and drawn-out and not that tense.
