Exiled by scandal and haunted by loss, Iris Vale trades Manhattan's tabloids for the relentless jungle of Colombia. She comes to the Coraz n Research Station seeking anonymity, but finds only suspicion from its leader, Dr. Calder Reyes-a brilliant, brooding botanist with ghosts of his own.
In a world where every step can be fatal-venomous wasps, prowling jaguars, fever that burns the soul-the jungle strips Iris of every defense she once hid behind. Calder saves her life more than once, but his judgment cuts deeper than any wound, forcing her to confront not only the wilderness but the truth she's been running from.
As survival forges trust and danger sparks desire, Iris and Calder discover that the deadliest threats aren't in the rainforest-they're the secrets they keep and the pasts they can't escape.
A story of resilience, redemption, and forbidden chemistry, The Wild Heart asks: when everything has been lost, can love be the one thing worth risking it all for?
