But a feisty American archeologist and the heat she ignites in him is about to change all that. And more. An independent woman hunting for a Pharaoh s treasure Alexandra Talbot is used to men questioning her intelligence simply because of her sex. But the mysterious Viscount isn t like other men. He never questions her ability to find the lost city of Ramesses II, only her resistance to the sinful pleasure of his touch. An ancient prophecy Bound by a Pharaoh s prophecy, desire flares between them beneath the desert stars. But murder and betrayal turn their quest into a deadly game, pushing their fragile trust to the breaking point. Their survival hinges on rebuilding that trust."
