Can a land of exotic enchantment melt the enmity between Alex and Dan before it's too late? Days before starting a history-making excavation in a remote sector of the Valley of the Kings, Dr. Alexandria Randall's father, a fellow Egyptologist, goes missing. Alex will stop at nothing to find her father--a gargantuan task in an ancient land where she doesn't make the rules--even if she's also a target. Alex must swallow her pride and ask for protection from an arrogant journalist named Dan. To find her father, Alex must play Dan's wife--a ruse that both find insufferable. But with her father's life hanging in the balance, Alex is determined to make their mock marriage work.
