Her goal: Discover the legendary Lost City of the Moon hidden deep within the Amazon rainforest.
His goal: Protect a sacred temple—and guard his own heart.

Dr. Miriam Jacobs may have the world’s most fearless archaeologist as her mentor, but the riskiest thing about her are the cheesy jokes she loves to tell. When Miri is tasked with leading an expedition into an unexplored part of the Amazon rainforest searching for the mythical Lost City of the Moon, she finally sees a chance to earn the respect of her colleagues—and maybe prove something to herself along the way.

Journalist Rafael Monfils is accompanying the archaeological group supposedly to document their journey, at least as far as the others know. In truth, Rafa’s intentions are different. He’s secretly committed to ensuring no one ever reaches the sacred Cidade da Lua, dedicated to preserving the holy city’s spiritual integrity and protecting the legacy of his late mother. All he has to do is quietly steer Miri and her colleagues in the wrong direction.

The one obstacle he didn’t foresee was the sweet, quirky Dr. Jacobs, whose determination grows stronger with every obstacle he places in her path. Miri’s persistent bravery and clumsy yet lovable attempts at channeling her inner Lara Croft charm Rafa despite himself as they trek deeper into Brazil’s perilous rainforest. Soon enough, they discover they’re not alone in trying to find Cidade da Lua—and the threats hidden within the wild jungle may not be nearly as dangerous as the feelings growing between them.
