The jungle hides secrets—and not all of them have feathers.

What was supposed to be a quick trip to the Bahamas turns into a wild jungle misadventure when Renee sets out to prove that a legendary creature—the Chickcharney—is more than just folklore.

But when a rival cryptid hunter sabotages her offering and stirs up something ancient in the trees, things get a little... owl-shaped. Separated from their team and tangled in vines—both literal and emotional—she and Jon stumble upon something strange in the jungle. Is it the Chickcharney? A hoax? Or a sign they're in way over their heads?

Part romantic adventure, part cryptid caper, and 100% heart, this is the perfect escape read for anyone who believes in second chances, island sunsets, and the occasional legendary bird.

The Ports of Call series features plucky characters thrown into unusual circumstances in exotic locations—from Bahamian jungles to a cruise through the Panama Canal. Sunshine, sea breezes, and romance await!
