'All my life I’ve been the obedient daughter. The good girl who followed the rules. I’m still that girl, but I’m torn between the safe path in life and breaking free.

'An invitation to holiday in exotic South America with my friends was the ideal opportunity to escape. Before I left, my father gave one warning: Stay out of the jungle.

'Within days, I was living in a culture vastly different to my sheltered upbringing. I found adventure. Confidence. Excitement. In a city of love, and a city of heartbreak, I found both.

'I wasn’t searching for the man of my dreams. He found me. Then he disappeared...

'But one thing my father taught me was to never give up. So, I decided to find the man who swept me off my feet. He’s hiding a secret and I’m determined to find answers. Even though it meant doing the one thing my father warned about—entering the jungle.

'Now I’m so out of my depth—the quicksand sinking kind of depth when it comes to survival skills. And my privileged upbringing holds no ground in a place where money and first world education is meaningless.

'I’m not sure how I will survive...

'One thing is certain, I won’t come out the same.

'Ulara is a story about forbidden love and a tortured hero, set between Australia and South America.'
