When Kat Adair plunges into the waves to rescue a drowning
man, it is just the beginning of an odyssey that will sweep
the fisherman's daughter on an adventure of danger and
desire. Convinced she is in love with the man she saved,
Egyptologist David Turnberry, she plots a bout of "amnesia"
that enables her to linger among the highborne, hoping to
win David's heart away from his betrothed! The only
problem
is Hunter MacDonald, rugged archaeologist, bold adventurer,
a man who is wise to her little charade - and determined to
protect his best friend.
Undaunted, Kat stows away on the ship carrying David and
Hunter's expedition party to the land of the Pharaoh.
Scandal ensues, and Hunter vows the only way to protect his
friend and keep this confounding woman out of trouble is to
make her is wife. Inevitably, in the sultry heat of the
desert, passions ignite. But as the secrets of the ancient
tombs are revealed, terrible danger unfolds. Is it a
legendary curse, or pure human evil? Plunged into terror,
Kat must trust the one man willing to risk everything to
save her from doom.
