One riverboat. Three dangerous men. A jungle they can't escape.
Scarlett Ward has spent her life buried in books, but her newly minted PhD can't help her survive the rainforest. Desperate for one last taste of freedom before a predictable career claims her, she boards a decaying riverboat helmed by the charismatic Captain Nash Wright. She expected a scenic tour, not the dangerous journey down the river it became. The close quarters of the aging vessel become hard to manage as Scarlett finds herself caught between three men she can't trust and also can't resist. There's Nash, the rugged captain with a mysterious past; Campbell Hart, a fugitive on the run from a failed eco-mission; and James Remington, a cold, reserved investor who would rather buy the jungle than explore it. When the engine dies and the whispers of a local curse transform from folklore into a terrifying reality, the fantasy cruise shatters. Strange occurrences plague the ship, and the jungle quickly feels too close for comfort. Scarlett isn't just fighting the rising heat between her and her shipmates—she's fighting for her life. Scarlett came looking for an escape, but now she's trapped in a place where time and logic have no meaning. To survive the psychological toll of the ruins, they'll have to find a way to put aside their differences and work together. Because in the heart of the rainforest, the greatest threat isn't what's hiding in the shadows, it's the secrets they're keeping from each other.
