About The Lost City

Loretta Sage, a reclusive writer of glamorous adventure stories, crafts heroines and a tall, muscled cover model named Alan. On a publicity tour for her latest book, Loretta is swept up in a double ordeal when a flamboyant billionaire kidnaps her, hoping she can guide him to a treasure described in her fiction. Alan, who wants to prove he can be a hero in real life, sets out to track her down and rescue her. What follows mixes danger and laughs as they stumble through a jungle of clues and traps, and unlikely alliances form along the way. The humor comes from their mismatched personalities and witty banter as they navigate chaotic situations and chase clues across vibrant landscapes.
