Buckle up for an edge-of-your seat trek through the dangerous jungles of the Philippines in this enemies to lovers, forced proximity, alpha hero, sunshine versus grumpy romantic thriller!

When Rio Silva is told her aunt and uncle are missing in a Philippine rainforest, she knows there is only one answer to finding them: the retired military working dog her dad entrusted to her. Chaos, however, has a mind of her own, a lot like Rio. Worse, she’ll have to trust arrogant and bossy former Army Ranger, Cathal McGowan if she hopes to get them back. The last thing Cathal McGowan needs is to be shackled with a young, pretty teacher with no combat experience as he leads them into the dark heart of the rainforest. But she has heart—he’ll give her that. And he has the experience she needs to rescue her family. Putting everything on the line, Rio and Cathal struggle to navigate the terrain, as well as their emerging feelings for each other. But the closer they get to mission success, the more things aren’t adding up, including who might be behind the disappearance. It’s not long before they realize the rainforest holds greater perils than deadly vipers...and the biggest danger of all might be their hearts.
