The Stolen Papyrus
2015
It’s every archaeologist’s dream to explore the hidden tombs of Egypt. Unfortunately for me, my dream turns into a nightmare when Xander Harrison, a childhood friend who betrayed me, joins my team. I came to Egypt to study the ancient past, not to be confronted with my own. Besides Xander’s questionable motives for joining the excavation, I'm also convinced he’s the one responsible for my father’s death. But I can’t prove it. And if I don’t want to miss out on the excavation of a lifetime, I’ll have to put my personal feelings aside and work with the annoyingly handsome Englishman. But as we find clues to the whereabouts of an ancient tomb, secrets start to surface, revealing pieces of a deadly plot against us. Soon, I start to realize I might have been wrong about Xander. The only way to discover the truth is if I give up the very secret my father died to protect. If I don’t…I might share my father’s fate. The Stolen Papyrus is a mystery novel with a dash of clean romance that would be enjoyed by readers who love Elizabeth Peters, The Mummy, and Indiana Jones.

Stranded miles from civilization, the message is clear: somebody wants her dead. Abducted and left to die in the Sahara, archaeologist Leila Sterling wakes up not knowing why she’s still alive. Leila's flame, archaeologist-turned-policeman Xander Harrison, is desperate to find his woman—before the shadowy killer strikes again. The separated lovers each find themselves in a brutal race for survival.

Will they ever be reunited, or will the shocking discovery of one of the greatest mysteries of the past destroy Leila... and the man she loves? The Lost Sepulcher, the second book in the Artifact Guardians series, is a thrilling suspense novel, jam-packed with adventure and a dusting of clean romance that would be enjoyed by readers who love Indiana Jones, Elizabeth Peters, and The Mummy.

Secrets lead to lies. Lies lead to betrayal.
A bombing at the Egyptian Museum rips archaeologist Leila Sterling’s mother from her again. The murderous illegal artifact dealer, Faris Al-Rashid, claims her mother is safe but demands Leila complete a task for him if she ever wants to see her again: bring him the terrifyingly dangerous Scrolls of Lysias. If Leila fails, Faris promises to destroy both her and the man she loves. But not everything is as it seems when Leila sets out on her quest for truth and justice. Even Xander, her fiancé, has been keeping secrets. Secrets that may be the death of both of them. In this gripping adventure, we follow Leila and Xander from the heart-pounding dangers of Cairo to the teeming backstreets of Athens, from the dark tunnels of Egyptian tombs to the glittering waters of the Aegean Sea. Can Leila survive the ultimate betrayal? Can she still save those she loves before time runs out?
