Shot Across the Bow by Julie Ann Walker

In the previous books of this series, we've seen Spiro "Romeo" Delgado and Mia Ennis dancing around each other. They are clearly attracted to each other but they keep claiming to only be friends. Friends that often spend evenings together, reading to each other from their favorite fantasy series and then falling asleep. In fact, that's what happens in one of the first scenes in this book. At least their night was better than Doc's. He left with a woman but then... well. It didn't work out. And then the woman ends up being the lawyer that the lieutenant hired to make sure that they can keep the treasure after they find it. 
Unfortunately, while the four of them are flying back to the island where they are looking for the Santa Cristina, their plane goes down. That would be bad enough if it didn't seem like someone is making sure that no one survives the night...
Because the whole book takes place in such a short time period there is understandably not a lot of character development and you will probably want to read the other books in the series before you read this one.
