BookCon Carry-On

She came for a weekend escape, but destiny came harder.

Victoria Lopez is freshly divorced, newly forty-five, and determined to reclaim her joy on a weekend girl's trip to a romance book conference. But when her rechargeable self-care device stages a full-scale riot in the TSA line, she's forced to toss it in the trash... along with her hopes for a no-strings-attached, between-the-sheets revival.

Fine. Whatever. She's got a BookCon, her two best friends, and a weekend far away from her ex-husband's engagement party. That should be enough, right?

But then a mysterious figurine at a vendor booth calls her name - literally. According to the shop owner, these enchanted effigies choose their person. Victoria laughs it off… until she brings the warrior-shaped statue back to her hotel room and discovers "choosing" might have involved a lot more than fate.

Because this figurine doesn't stay a figurine.

Suddenly Victoria is face-to-abs with a devoted, dangerously gorgeous Mexica warrior determined to serve her every desire and remind her exactly who she powerful, wanted, and worthy of pleasure without apology.

What started as a girls' trip becomes a wild, magical awakening - one that might just put her heart back together in ways she never expected.
