“One of the most breathtaking and phenomenal adventure tales to come along in years! Tara Janzen has created an instant adventure classic. Make tracks and get your hands on a copy of this book today!" --Jill M. Smith for RT

"With her smart, sassy dialog and witty style, reminiscent of Romancing the Stone, Janzen shows that high adventure doesn't get much better than this." – Library Journal, Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

A LOST WORLD
In the heart of the rain forest lies a prize Dr. Annie Parrish is willing to risk her life for…if she can find it. All she needs is a captain with a boat heading upriver. With a dangerous load of illegal contraband weighing her down and time running out, she’s only got one name left on her list, and it’s at the bottom. The good thing is, he’s right where she’d expected to find him – the last, ramshackle dive bar on the waterfront.

A ROGUE SCIENTIST
Will Travers has macaw feathers in his hair, a week’s worth of beard, and a shaman’s crystal hanging around his neck, convincing Annie that even the wildest stories she’s heard about him don’t tell the tale. A Harvard-trained botanist, the once world-renowned professor lost his reputation – and some say his mind – when he vanished from his camp on the Rio Cauaburi and disappeared for a year in the rainforest. Now he’s back, in a seedy waterfront bar with a beer in his hand and a mulatto woman doing the lambada on his lap – and against every ounce of common sense she has, Annie’s about to make him an offer.

ONCE THEIR JOURNEY BEGINS, THERE’S NO TURNING BACK
The last thing Will needs is a woman whose secrets run as deep and dark as his own. A renegade in her own right, the legendary Amazon Annie is a magnet for trouble – and he’s already got plenty. He’s out to destroy a devil named Corisco Vargas before he can unleash his nightmarish forces on the whole of the Amazon. Trapped between a shaman’s mystical visions and the violence of the real world, their journey quickly becomes one of desperate danger. But which force will rule their fate – the yearning for vengeance, or a power as potent and seductive as the heart of a singular, magical orchid?

"Wow! RIVER OF EDEN is a delicious combination of adventure, romance, and mysticism which mixes sizzling sensuality with edge-of-your-seat suspense. Tara Janzen is definitely one of the finest writers of romance or any other genre. More please!" – Teresa Medeiros, New York Times Bestselling Author
