A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson

When Anne Norris was in college, she trusted the wrong person, and her boyfriend's eco-terrorist plot got her sent to prison. Now starting over in Savannah, Georgia, she runs a struggling pirate tour company, until she finds an artifact on the beach unearthed from the depths by a hurricane. Museum curator Carter Hale knows that Anne's discovery is the first solid piece of evidence that the shipwreck in his family's journal is real, but getting to the pirate ship Catherine is more complicated than either one of them thought.
I've found that a lot of Christian fiction is more interested in being Christian than it is in being good fiction, but this one is both. It's a good romance with a bit of mystery and historical intrigue. I especially like the sections from the historical diary, which is a mystery within the mystery. The book does rely on the "characters misunderstand each other and bad things happen" trope, but other than that, it's a solid story.
