Perfect for you if...

  • You love Victorian-era adventures with real historical texture, not just a fancy backdrop for romance.
  • You enjoy dual-POV romance where the couple starts at odds and the banter masks genuine danger.
  • You appreciate mysteries woven into love stories: ancient tombs, dark secrets, and characters who can't quite trust each other yet.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want slow-burn romance that takes its time. This story moves fast, and the marriage happens well before the climax.
  • You prefer contemporary settings or pure paranormal elements. This is grounded historical fiction with adventure, not fantasy.
  • You need your heroines to be conventionally likeable from page one. Kat's schemes and deceptions won't win everyone over immediately.

About this book

Kat Adair, a fisherman's daughter, rescues a drowning man from the sea and becomes convinced she is in love with him—Egyptologist David Turnberry. To remain close to him in elite London society, she feigns amnesia. However, archaeologist Hunter MacDonald, David's best friend, sees through her deception and is determined to protect David. Undeterred, Kat stows away on a ship carrying David and Hunter's expedition to Egypt. The scandal that follows leads Hunter to propose marriage as the only way to control her schemes. In the desert heat, passion develops between them. As the expedition uncovers secrets within ancient tombs, dangerous threats emerge, and Kat must rely on Hunter, who is willing to risk everything to save her from peril.
