Withering Hope

A Contemporary Romance

Aimee’s wedding is supposed to turn out perfect. Her dress, her fiancé and the location—the idyllic holiday ranch in Brazil—are perfect.

But all Aimee’s plans come crashing down when the private jet that’s taking her to her fiancé defects mid-flight and the pilot, sexy Tristan Bress, is forced to make an emergency landing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.

With no way to reach civilisation, being rescued is their only hope. A slim one that withers away, desperation taking its place. Because death wanders in the jungle under many forms: starvation, disease, and fangs of beasts. Forced to fend for themselves, Tristan and Aimee begin to forage for food and shelter. As they fight for survival, they grow closer. Together they discover that facing old, inner agonies takes just as much courage, if not even more, than facing the rainforest. Despite her devotion to her fiancé, Aimee can’t hide her feelings for Tristan.

Tristan knows Aimee is the one woman he can’t have. But how can he fight love when she’s slowly becoming everything to him?

“The story became utterly captivating and so powerful an alarm could have gone off next to us and we'd be shushing it so we could finish reading. It grabbed us and demanded for us not to give up; experience and understand just how much love, pain and devotion it had to offer. And it did and we felt it!”
