Laurie Delacroix has spent a decade chasing ghosts. The last time anyone heard from her father, he was obsessed with finding the legendary Ivory Temple—then he vanished without a trace. Now Laurie has signed on as a scout for an expedition led by Preston Thorne, a brilliant archaeologist whose cold British composure hides secrets she can't quite decipher. He's her boss. He's her rival. And he's the only man who can help her uncover the truth about what happened to her father.
But the jungle is not forgiving. Neither is the competition. A rival expedition led by a ruthless collector is right on their heels, armed with enough ammunition to start a war. When Laurie discovers Preston has been hiding knowledge about her father's fate, their fragile partnership shatters. She can't trust him. She can't stop wanting him. And the deeper they push into the rainforest, the more dangerous their attraction becomes.
As they navigate crocodile-infested rivers, survive a brutal pirate ambush, and crawl through collapsing temple ruins, Laurie and Preston are forced into impossible choices. The ancient traps guarding the Ivory Temple are deadly. The rival expedition will kill to claim what lies within. And Preston's secret could destroy everything Laurie believes about her father—and about the man she's falling for.
Can Laurie survive the jungle and the truth? Will Preston's secrets tear them apart before they can reach the temple? And when they finally find the legendary ivory tablet, who will claim it—and at what cost?
