Well in this one, they still discover America, but things don't turn out as they expected.
Your absolute best bet is going to be Complete Illustrated History of the Aztec & Maya. It includes more than just the Big Three South American (Aztec, Inca, Maya) civilizations in the region. Should be a good intro book - used by a lot of students as far as I know.
While I don't have a lot of experience with this series, apparently Amazon produces a series called Captivating History that includes Mayan, Aztec and Incan histories. Since I have Prime, these are apparently free to me and I'm assuming that's why they came up when I was pulling the Illustrated History.
If you perhaps want something more scholarly and archaeological base, I know Archaeopress Publishers put out a line exclusively about Pre-Columbian South American history that explores different sites and publish edited essay compilations on various subjects. These are going to be a bit pricier as they're not really intended for intro-level students - try your local university and public library networks to see if they have any on hand. You might discover something similar for your efforts!
Archaeopress has a strong focus on South American archaeology and history texts.
Lastly, and more niche for the Mayan focus, there's Archaeoastronomy and the Maya. This one is purely personal. Under 200 pages, a quick read, if not a bit dense and more schoarly than your overage intro or trade book. Lots of specific information about Mayan astronomical artifacts.
Seems like the first book might be what you're looking for! Steady reading!
