Red Pearl

An action-packed fantasy romance readers are describing as a YA mash-up of Indiana Jones and Romancing the Stone!

Antonia Korelli never wanted the life of a priestess, confined to the temple and relegated to chastity. Instead, she longs for true love and adventure in the Kindgom of Elat. On the morning of her escape, she unexpectedly rescues a man at gunpoint...much to his dismay. Robin Watkins, a fiery dreamer, is on a mission to find the legendary lost Red Pearl. When Antonia unwittingly gives up his treasure map to save his life, he refuses to let her go until she's helped him retrieve it.

The last thing Antonia wants is to be stuck on a wild goose chase with a hotheaded adventurer who drives her to the brink of madness. Yet, somewhere amidst their bickering and banter along his harebrained hunt through arid desert and lush tropics, she begins to wonder whether this might be the unforgettable adventure-and romance-she was seeking all along. Can Rob overcome his own ambitions and broken heart to recognize true treasure when it's right before his eyes? Will they survive the perils of uncharted terrain and the clutches of deadly rival treasure hunters to find out?
