Saving Valencia by Kelli Walker

My plane crashed. My pilots are dead. And we’re stuck on an island.
Me, my best friend, and his secretary.
The sun is harsh. The sand is hot.
And no one knows we’re alive.
Or so we thought.

The second she finds us, she captivates me.
This jungle woman with wild hair.
She’s a functioning mute with a chip on her shoulder.
And she’s been hired to save us.

But, the island has other plans.
Storms roll in and drown us out.
Trapping us by our necks.
I’m cooped up with her. This feral jungle woman.
A woman I can’t crack.

Val has a body that makes me ache.
Eyes that swallow me whole.
But when I catch a glimpse of the skin of her back,
I see where the real trap lies.

Her past.
Valencia Bouchard was hired to save me.
But it might just be me saving her.
