Justine O’Neill was hired to keep Nigel Carter alive—not to want him. Not to need him. But Peru strips away a lot of things. Distance. Control. Secrets.

Every step into the jungle drags up ghosts Justine swore she’d buried. And Nigel? He’s the worst kind of temptation — sharp mind, rough edge, and eyes that see too much. She pushes him away. He gets closer. Then his daughter is stolen, and everything turns savage.

Out here, survival means giving in. To violence. To vulnerability. To heat that burns too hot, too fast. The real danger isn’t losing the fight. It’s surrendering to him.
