The Explorer

Flirting with danger is Aubri's idea of fun.

Ever since we were children, I've known Aubri wasn't like other females. She's the daughter of Magni and Laura Aurelius, who raised her to be a fearless warrior.

Men are blinded by Aubri's beauty, charm, and social status. Yet, at twenty-seven, no one has succeeded in making her his wife. Starving for adventure, she volunteered for the dangerous work as an Explorer in Old Europe. It's crazy and the mortality rate alone should've made her think twice. But that's the trouble with my friend; she thinks she's immortal. My hardest job right now is protecting her from herself.

Indiana's and Aubri's life-long friendship is put to the test as they find themselves settling into a new life far from home. Her unpredictable and impulsive behavior drives him mad. Without the watchful eyes of her family, Aubri finally feels free to test, try, and discover.

Influenced by the Europeans' relaxed relationship with sex, Aubri develops a fascination that puts Indiana in a difficult bind. Will he break his promise to Aubri's father and let her explore while she can? Or will he do what no one has managed to do before: make her see reason?

Contains mature themes.
