    Romancing the Ruins Series

    About this series

    Ten days, two rivals, and a busload of tourists. How bad could it be?

     

    For archaeologist Emilia Flores, landing a fellowship to work at the ancient ruins of Pompeii in Italy is a dream come true. The only catch? She'll be digging alongside her infuriating nemesis, TJ Mayer, who's been a constant thorn in her side.

     

    TJ isn't about to pass up the Pompeii project. Sure, he'll be stuck working with Emilia, but he thrives on challenging her. And he hasn't forgotten that secret kiss they shared at an archaeology conference last winter.

     

    Though unearthing Pompeii's treasures might be a dream, student debt is a nightmare that never takes a vacation. So, when TJ and Emilia are offered a lucrative side job to lead a ten-day tour through southern Italy, they grudgingly agree to tackle it together.

     

    Forced to set aside their animosity and work as a team, they forge an unexpected camaraderie. As the sparks between them ignite, their rivalry gives way to passion, making it easy to forget their years of fierce competition. But what happens when the tour ends and the real world steps in?

     

    Tour Wars is a rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a nerdy cinnamon roll hero, a strong-willed Latina heroine, and plenty of hotel hijinks. It can be read as a standalone.

      What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it?   After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of fieldwork. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she'll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn't an option. But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she's forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston.   For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he's in Cyprus and he'll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can't afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.   Field Rules is a second-chance, opposites-attract romance featuring a roguish hero, a fish-out-of-water heroine, and heaps of nerdy archaeological references. It can be read as a standalone.

      After years of burying their feelings, can two best friends uncover love among the ruins?   Ever since Stuart Carlson met Dusty Danforth on a dig in Egypt, she's been his closest friend. Together, they've weathered heartaches, triumphs, and countless archaeological expeditions. So when he gets hired to help run the American excavations at Troy, he asks her to join him as the site illustrator.   For Dusty, the Troy project isn't just another adventure. It's the chance to tell Stuart how she really feels. Instead of pining for him in secret, she's ready to admit she wants more than friendship.   But soon after they arrive at the site in Turkey, they're caught up in a feud with a group of German archaeologists. While both teams are eager to make a major find, Stuart's boss is so determined to beat his rivals that he's willing to break a few rules. Or laws.   As Stuart and Dusty work together to keep the dig on track, they give in to the passion that's been simmering under the surface. But will their romance survive when their boss's scheme puts the entire project in jeopardy?   Troy Story is a friends-to-lovers romance featuring a cinnamon roll hero, a free-spirited heroine, heaps of mutual pining, and a touch of intrigue. It can be read as a standalone.
