Ancient Winds

A sexy slow burn jungle romance with stolen artifacts, anacondas, and shamanic time travel. Get swept away by this contemporary adventure romance.

She might be unsure about a lot of things-her relationship with Irene, the state of her doctorate work, the validity of Magee's Moon Tablet-but one was crystal clear. If she relaxed her guard with alcohol, she'd be in Magee's bed before the sun set.

Who knew a broody Scotsman could be so sexy?

Brynn Galloway doesn't know it, but her academic career in archaeology is about to become a laughingstock. When a rare Sumerian artifact surfaces, her presence is requested in Bolivia, but nothing is as it seems.

Soon, she's entangled in a desperate hunt not only for a valuable antiquity but also for answers to humanity that might stretch across time. And by her side is a sexy mercenary physicist with a maddening belief in space aliens.

Dr. Tristan Magee is in a bad mood. When his latest acquisition-an unusual and as yet untranslated Sumerian cuneiform tablet-is stolen right out from under him and spirited away to the Bolivian jungle, he'll do whatever it takes to get it back.

Unfortunately, that includes partnering with a female archaeologist who proves to be the kind of distraction that brought down civilizations.

A combination of Indiana Jones and Romancing the Stone, with a dash of The X-Files ... get swept away in this romantic adventure.
