The Island Holds: Pirates of Conch Island 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781965754351)

Set on the fictional Caribbean island of Conch Island, The Island Holds follows Mateo Vargas as he returns after his father's death to settle his family's long-held lease at Smugglers Cove.

What begins as a simple inheritance soon becomes an investigation into unexplained tidal changes, hidden inland stone structures, and clues left behind by the island's earliest settlers. Working alongside Amelia LaGrande, Gabe Denske, Rowan and Evan, Mateo uncovers the true purpose of an ingenious coastal protection system that has remained hidden for generations.

As family history and present-day discoveries converge, the group must decide how to protect the island's greatest secret before it is lost forever.
