Synopsis

'Cute, quirky and with loveably relatable characters. A sweeping romance, a romp through the jungle in search of lost treasure, snarky banter, great fun from start to finish!’ Marianne Gordon

A laugh-out-loud spicy adventure romcom. Perfect for fans of The Lost City, Lyla Sage and Christina Lauren.
A surprise gift is exactly what Adriana Jones needs to improve her vacation, and a bracelet with gems will do the trick.

Except once it’s on, she’s faced with two problems:

  1. The bracelet is actually meant for Andrew Jones – the renowned and utterly gorgeous archaeologist
  2. It will not come off, no matter how hard she tries…

Andrew Jones needs this bracelet if he wants to find an ancient lost treasure deep in the jungles of Colombia. And there’s no way he’s letting Adriana’s mistake cost him his career.

There’s only one solution: Adriana must accompany him on his quest. Trekking through jungles and crawling through crypts wasn’t on Adriana’s vacation agenda, but an adventure with the very sexy Dr Jones might just be the treasure she’s been seeking…

Tropes:

  • Forced Proximity
  • Opposites Attract
  • Fish out of Water
  • Destination romcom
  • Spicy

    Readers are falling for the adventure romcom of the year!
