TONE: Female-Forward. Romantic Comedic. A "Fish out of Water" story with lovable characters and an adventurous journey.

Kinley Wade is a damned good reporter, but she makes the mistake of volunteering for a not-so-glamorous gig in the dusty town of Bajito, Mexico, reporting on a festival that offers blood sacrifices to appease the Volcano Gods. Once in Mexico, Kinley discovers that livestock is not the only living thing on the volcano’s menu...
Accidentally becoming the next human sacrifice, she soon encounters other survivors who call themselves the Lazane Tribe, a group of people who were offered to the volcano and assumed long dead.
Among them is Lars, personal guard to the Lava Lord, and Kinley’s ridiculously handsome captor. The only way to ever go back home is to win the heart of the arcane Lava Lord. If she leaves, the Lazane Tribe could lose everything, but if she stays... she jeopardizes losing her heart. And her finely-honed reporter skills tell her that Lars is more than just an uncouth guard.
In order to find out, she risks her freedom, while learning the hard way that she’s not nearly as tough - or as right - as she thinks she is.
