Raiders of the Lost Heart

An Indie Next and LibraryReads Pick!

Two rival archaeologists must join forces on a secret Aztec expedition, or risk losing both their careers—and their hearts.

Archaeologist Dr. Socorro "Corrie" Meja has a personal stake in this mission—literally.

Corrie has long dreamed of leading an expedition deep into the Mexican jungle to uncover the lost remains of her ancestor, Chimalli, a legendary Aztec warrior. When she's invited to join an all-expenses-paid dig to do just that, she’s suspicious it’s too good to be true... and it turns out she’s right.

As the world’s foremost expert on Chimalli, Corrie believes she should be leading the expedition, not sharing the spotlight with her infuriatingly attractive rival. Dr. Ford Matthews has been outshining her since grad school, and now, with his life in turmoil, the last thing he needs is a reminder of their complicated past.

But as the dig unfolds, it quickly becomes clear they’ll need to cooperate when they discover a thief lurking at their camp, forcing them to keep both their findings and their undeniable chemistry under wraps. With artifact smugglers after their treasure, the Mexican authorities closing in, and old secrets threatening to surface, there's only one way this story will end—explosively.
