Scent of the Jaguar: (a Deadly Forces Novel)

Archaeologist Bernadette Ashford is filled with anticipation when invited to join the search for ancient ruins in the Amazon. But upon arrival with her sister in a remote area of Brazil, the dream job morphs into a nightmare. Running for their lives, they board a plane that crashes in the jungle, exposing them to the danger they sought to escape. After a brief holiday, Zane MacIntosh is about to resume his mission - expose the leader of a major drug cartel. A year earlier, Intel linked his target to a dig where he clashed head-on with a feisty archaeologist but was unable to unearth the necessary evidence. Now fate throws the woman he couldn’t forget directly into his path moments before disaster strikes. Trapped, surrounded by thick jungle, a thunderstorm rages above and night approaches fast. Mercenaries descend and begin hunting the passengers. Threatened by death on all sides, Bernie works beside Zane, a man she believes is an artefact smuggler to keep the survivors alive. All the while struggling to deny the powerful attraction of a thief who’s stolen a piece of her heart. But their ruthless hunter has no intention of allowing them to escape and the cost of freedom comes at a heavy price.
