When Vera’s brother dies in a tragic accident, the suffragette is hell-bent on uncovering the truth. But to do so, she must first trek through the dangerous jungles of Africa to enlist the only man who can help — Owen MacKenna. The broody Scottish adventurer is far more than her brother’s best friend — he’s an agent for the British Crown — and it seems the closer they get to rekindling their passion and uncovering the truth behind her brother’s death, the deadlier their love becomes.
