Leah Roberts, a reporter on assignment in Peru, hires professional guide Dylan Hart to escort her into the Amazon jungle on the trail of the story of a lifetime--the outbreak of a deadly ebola-like disease. If loosed it will decimate the population of South America, and possibly the entire world.

Time is running out. The deadly virus is on the brink of outbreak, threatening to unleash chaos across South America. Leah Roberts must reach a reclusive doctor, who may be responsible for the outbreak, in the heart of the Amazon before it's too late. With the clock ticking and the jungle teeming with peril, she enlists the help of Dylan Hart, a guide whose skills are matched only by the intensity of their chemistry. As they navigate rapids and face ferocious wildlife, the stakes escalate—failure means not just their lives, but the fate of millions. Can they unravel the mystery before the River of Desire sweeps them away forever?
