About this item
Margot Rhodes isn’t your typical archaeologist—she’s never held a shovel in her life. But when the mythical Vase of Venus Aurelia, lost since 1932, becomes the key to mending her broken heart, Margot signs up for her school’s archaeological trip to Pompeii. Armed with nothing but determination and a century-old journal, she’s ready to unearth the vase’s long-lost shards.
The journal belonged to Van Keane, a teenage explorer who vanished in 1932 while searching for the vase. Margot spends hours poring over his poetic entries, feeling an unexpected connection to the boy who once held her same hopes. But nothing could prepare her for the shock of finding a statue that looks exactly like Van—or for the moment it comes to life.
Pulled into the present, Van Keane is not the romantic figure Margot imagined. He’s sharp-tongued, determined to retrieve the vase for reasons that clash with Margot’s ideals. Despite their differences, the two must team up to survive Venus’s deadly challenges—traps, riddles, and creatures that guard the vase’s fragments.
As Margot and Van dig deeper, their quest becomes more than just a treasure hunt. They must confront their buried pasts and the growing tension between them, all while navigating a world where nothing is as it seems. But with every piece of the vase they uncover, they realize that the greatest treasure might not be the ancient artifact at all, but the love they never saw coming.
The Vase of Venus Aurelia is a whimsical adventure rom-com, where magical relics, time-crossed romance, and laugh-out-loud banter combine in a story that’s as heartwarming as it is thrilling. 📚❤️
