Amazon Awakening
by Caridad Pineiro

Rey Peralta is on a mission to convince Paola Lopes to return to her family’s plantation in Brazil and take over responsibility for a very secret legacy.

Rey knows Paola is the only one who can be trusted to take her place as Priestess of the Guardians, the protectors of a special realm hidden in the rainforest, but he never expected how powerfully her beauty and Guardian power will affect him. But will he be able to convince Paola to stay in the Amazon and accept her new role as well as stay by his side?

Paola Lopes isn’t sure what to make of the handsome man who comes to her with a request from a grandmother she’s never met.

She’s also not sure what to make of the instantaneous passion that overwhelms her with his simplest touch. Rey tempts her to join with him physically and spiritually and that desire nearly threatens to consume them when they give in to their passion and make love. But can Paola accept a legacy that forces her to leave all she knows and a man who entices her more than she ever thought possible.
