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 into danger and desire.
Convinced she is in love with the man she saved,
Egyptologist David Turnberry, she feigns amnesia, thus
enabling her to linger among the highborn. Hunter
MacDonald, rugged archaeologist, 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 curtail
this confounding woman's schemes is to marry her.
Inevitably, in the sultry heat of the desert, passions
ignite. But as the secrets of the ancient tombs are
revealed, terrible danger unfolds, and Kat must trust the
one man willing to risk everything to save her from doom.
