Sent to search for a legendary plant known to locals as 'the devil's snare' after the stories of it's vines entangling wayward travelers and sucking their blood dry, an ethnobotanist finds herself trapped in the Amazon Rainforest racing against rivals to uncover a medical breakthrough for a pharma company. But as she pushes deeper into the jungle, she begins to get a sense she may have walked into a deadly conspiracy. 

It's like Indiana Jones with a science degree. A novel that unspools the dangerous, sometimes shady real world of medicinal plant hunters.

Loving Katrina by MarieHiggins

The gift she never wanted... Since Katrina Landon was a young girl, she has always had the gift of forewarnings. Usually this sight has never disrupted her life. Until now. The wealthy father she has never known wants to meet her, but she has to travel from the slums of London through the Amazon rainforest to his plantation in order to get an inheritance. But her premonitions are warning her of the dangers ahead. If only her gift could tell her more about the handsome guide, Mr. Knightly, who immediately stirs her temper...and her interest. Felix Knightly isn't looking forward to escorting a spoiled rich girl through the jungle no matter how much her father pays. Yet when he meets her, he finds Katrina's distracting innocence and charming demeanor unsettling. He's not certain what to think about the sudden forewarnings she keeps giving. He'd rather fight off the fire ants, howler monkeys, and crocodiles than risk losing his heart to her, since he's never met a wealthy woman who is honest. As they delve deeper into the shadows of the rainforest, they discover they weren't just wrong about each other, they were wrong about the dangers of the jungle. Someone wants them dead and they have to find out who and why before it's too late.
