Brilliant Egyptologist Alexandra Quinn is stunned when the man who'd shattered her young heart rescues her from an intruder at the last minute. Forced to work with the rakish Lord, they must identify a cunning murderer who's left a blood-drenched trail from Cairo to London. Alex knows better than to trust Benedict, but the wicked promise in his kiss tempts her.



Benedict Weston, Viscount Marlsbrook, never wanted to be a hero. For years, he's plundered antiquities in his quest to restore his family's debt-ridden estate. Now, a killer has targeted the only woman he's ever loved—the woman he craves with a soul-deep hunger. He'll do whatever it takes to protect Alex—even from himself.
