Sea Jewel Neri, Penelope

**Sea Jewel** by Neri Penelope is the kind of romance that'll have you questioning why you ever bothered with dating apps. This gorgeous tale follows a marine biologist who discovers more than just rare pearls when she's forced to work alongside a grumpy lighthouse keeper on a remote coastal island. Think enemies-to-lovers with a splash of marine conservation and enough sexual tension to power a small fishing village.

Perfect for readers who love their romance with a side of environmental awareness and protagonists who actually have jobs that matter. Penelope crafts characters who banter like they mean it and fall in love like real humans do – messily, beautifully, authentically.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has already charmed previous readers, and now it's ready to work its magic on you. Contemporary romance doesn't get much better than this ocean-soaked gem.

*"Couldn't put it down! The marine biology details were fascinating and the romance was swoon-worthy."* *"Finally, a romance novel where both characters have actual personalities. Loved every salty, romantic page!"*
