Obsession Under the Southern Stars

She’s the one treasure I’ll risk everything to keep…

I’m a successful maritime archaeologist, but the two things I truly desire—my father’s respect, and Zoe Moon—elude me. I may never earn the former, but I’m obsessed with winning the latter.

Zoe is brilliant, quirky, and impossibly sexy—a rising star at the National Museum in Wellington who keeps everyone, including me, at arm’s length. Determined to find a way to get her alone, I seize the opportunity when a lead on the wreck of the Relentless surfaces. I offer Zoe a chance she can’t refuse: to recover the legendary opal necklace lost with the ship for her Valentine’s Day exhibition.

Our dive expedition is supposed to stay professional, but a sudden storm leaves us stranded on a remote island in the Bay of Islands. Forced into close quarters, our chemistry ignites in ways I’ve only imagined. But just when I think I’m breaking through her defenses, Zoe reveals the emotional scars she carries—and why love and family aren’t in her future.

I’ve fallen for her hard, and I’m not one to back down. But mending her heart might be the one thing beyond my control…

Great story poor narration

Loved the story love but the Virtual Voice was horrible. Did nothing for the actually story and detracted badly.

When I read the blurb for this book, I was so excited and couldn’t wait to read. Serenity Woods transported me to the Bay of Islands and New Zealand with her descriptive writing.

I always wanted to be an archaeologist and this book captivated me from the first word to the last.

This is Zoe Moon and Joel Bell’s friends to lovers story and what a well written and entertaining story it was as they explored the shipwreck and investigated.

The Māori culture which Serenity Woods weaves throughout the story added an additional layer.

There were equal amounts of heat and romance with characters who I could easily relate to. This booked ticked all my boxes and is one of my favourite reads from
