This book is made up of two stories really and they are intertwined between past and present. The first pair of star-crossed lovers lived more than 400 years ago and they literally fall in love at first sight. However, the h is betrothed to the Duke's heir and the H is the Duke's natural son. I enjoyed this part of the story most. There is a little bit of magic thrown in, some enchanted rings and a special belt with magical powers.The second part of the story is about the h and H both trying to find some buried treasure from a sunken boat. The H appears to be a modern day pirate and the h is a marine archaeologist continuing her late father's work. Their goals are different and put them at odds. The h's partner in the venture is a childhood love and so we have a bit of a triangle happening. I think this part of the story got too bogged down in the details of the search for treasure. I did like reading the journal entries by the h from the original story though - she is an ancestor of the h's.It isn't a bad story but the final love story was a bit rushed for me.
