Marked by the Desert Guardian

Lila Moore never believed in destiny. As a young archaeologist, she trusts facts, ruins, and ancient symbols—not myths whispered by desert winds. But when her research brings her to the Navajo reservation in the Arizona desert, everything she believes begins to crumble. Hidden deep inside a forgotten red-rock cave, Lila accidentally awakens Tavion—a powerful Navajo guardian spirit who has slept for a hundred years. Tall. Dangerous. Untouchable. And now… bound to her. Because Lila isn’t just an outsider archaeologist.
