Publisher Description

Archaeology has historically been a field for white men only.

Not anymore. Xiomara Chavez has dedicated her life to the preservation of her Mexican homeland. Out of hundreds of applications, she alone was selected to lead the creation of the Bunchberry Tribal Museum. Faced with her most remote project ever, Xiomara must rely on the help of Calehan, the aloof museum architect.  Sparks fly in the archives as Xiomara struggles to refrain from dating in the workplace. 

Tight-lipped Calehan Yellowbird has been tethered to Bunchberry, Canada for a thousand years. After the loss of his mother as a teen, Calehan has been providing for his family more than half his life. While he earned his architecture degree nearly a decade ago, the Bunchberry Museum would be his first official project. The pressure was immense, and Calehan felt the pressure of this project being his first…and last. Romance and dreams weren't in the cards for someone like him. For Xiomara though, he was willing to take the chance.

Thrown among ancient artifacts, shooting stars, and cultural obligations, Calehan and Xiomara must decide if they belong to each other or if the responsibility to their tribes and families are where they must be.

“I studied some archeology and anthropology in college, and was VERY excited to read this book. I was disappointed by poor editing and some sections that were obviously incorrectly placed in the book. Sometimes the writing was very disjointed and I couldn’t understand how we got from A to B. My other disappointment was that archeology took a back seat after the first several chapters and then the book turned into a romance novel. I’m a fan of romance novels but the scenes here need better editing. This book could have been phenomenal with a little more outside editing assistance. As is, I would call it sub par. And I’m disappointed to rate it that way. I had high expectations.”
