Hurakan — Michael Stewart

When Samantha's husband doesn't make the flight for their family's Belizean jungle vacation, she's not entirely disappointed. With their divorce all but certain, she could use an adventure with some romance on the side. After her daughter disappears on a trip through an underworld cave, Samantha discovers that dealing with an escaped murderer bent on sacrificing a maiden to the Mayan rain god may bring more danger than she bargained for. Trapped during a hurricane in the midst of a jungle teeming with the warriors of an ancient tribe, and tracked by the most dangerous gang in the world, Samantha must find the strength to become the person she'd always hoped to be-to save her family-or die trying.

"Michael Stewart takes the reader on a wild and breathless adventure through a vividly presented (and meticulously researched) jungle landscape where the natural perils of the forest are nothing to the cruelty and determination of the men coming after you." -New York Times bestselling author A. J. Hartley

"A category 5 adventure with a stormy romance. Hurakan will carry you away." -New York Times bestselling author Joan Johnston

His most recent project, The Terminals, has been optioned for film and television. Michael lives in Ottawa, Canada, with his wife and children.
