Ancient Winds

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.
