Plot Summary of Treasures Lost, Treasures Found
"Kate Hardesty had a stable life, a satisfying career as a professor at Yale, but when her father died suddenly of a heart attack she discovered he had a secret dream which would change her life! Led by years of research her father had done on the lost sunken merchant ship the Liberty, Kate returned to an island where she had left her first love.

Four years had passed but Kate realized that Ky Silver was the same man he was when she left Ocracoke Island, or was he? Trying to fight back the memories of the romance they shared one summer, Kate asks Ty to help her fulfill her father's dream, to find the lost treasure of the Liberty. It was to be a business arrangement, they were partners, he was the best diver she knew and she needed him. What Kate and Ky would soon realize was that they both needed each other in and off land.

On a quest for lost treasure amidst danger at Sea and fire in their hearts; these two people from different worlds discover that the treasure they are both in search of can't be found in gold at the bottom of the Sea.

Nelly Morgado, Resident Scholar
