Archaeologist Elena Voss has dedicated her life to uncovering the past, but her latest discovery-spirals carved into stone, pulsing with an ominous warning-could rewrite history and protect a forgotten empire from destruction. But someone else is after the truth. Someone who will stop at nothing to claim it.
When the shadow of her greatest betrayal steps into the light, Elena's carefully constructed world crumbles. Alexander Reyes-once her husband, now a dangerous mercenary-stands between her and her mission. Ruthless and brilliant, he commands soldiers like weapons, hunts with cold precision, and ignites a fire in her blood she thought long extinguished.
Once, he was the only man she trusted. Until he chose power over their love.
Now, caught between ruthless adversaries and a jungle that guards its secrets, Elena and Alexander must navigate a web of ancient puzzles, human predators, and a passion neither of them can deny. But trust is a perilous gamble, and their reunion could either save them both or destroy everything Elena has worked to protect.
In this race for survival, betrayal runs deep, desire burns hotter, and the second chance they never wanted may be their only salvation.
Perfect for readers who crave a dark, gripping story of redemption, obsession, and passion on the edge of ruin.
