One
woman. One man. An eternity of love hammered into twenty-one pieces of silver.
Marguerite
is a victim of a vicious attack. The resulting brain damage causes amnesia and
when she inexplicably appears in a tomb in Thebes, she insists she was coming
to meet Robert Bruton. Disorientated, destitute, and alone, she senses that her
necklace has led her to this familiar swashbuckler who takes her breath away;
however, he claims he does not know her.
Lord Robert Bruton, eminent Egyptologist, and possible spy for
the crown, has never discovered anything as captivating as the young woman he
recovers unconscious on his dig. He has staked his career on finding the final
resting place of Queen Tiye and wonders why Marguerite possesses a piece of
jewelry belonging to the Eighteenth Dynasty queen. She could be a tomb robber,
an American spy, or a madwoman spouting fantastical stories.
As the necklace’s curse is revealed, the fire of Marguerite’s
and Bruton’s ancient bond burns between them. But when Marguerite disappears, Bruton
fears that the wings of Isis have carried away the true treasure he has been
seeking his entire life.
For
to breathe the breath of Isis is to be reborn.
