An Amazon Affair, a travel novella

When New Yorker Yara Marino heads to her father’s birthplace in Brazil, she doesn’t expect to feel an emotional connection to a place about which she knows so little. She never learned Portuguese, never visited Manaus and has no idea how to make a caipirinha. Then again, meeting scorching hot bartender Desiderio Gabriel isn’t part of her plans either. But the longer she spends in Brazil, the more she realizes that both Desiderio and the enchanted waters of the Amazon could be important parts of her future … if she’ll only give them a chance.
