I'm busily writing a new paranormal romance book set in
ancient Egypt and it's a direct sequel to my award winning Lady of the Nile
from 2017, so I decided to revisit her today for the week's topic of backlist
love.
The blurb: Tuya, a
high ranking lady-in-waiting at Pharaoh’s court, lives a life of luxury,
pageantry and boredom. Khian, a brave and honorable officer from the provinces
temporarily re-assigned to Thebes, catches her eye at a gold of valor ceremony.
As the pair are thrown together by circumstances, she finds herself
unaccountably attracted to this man so unlike the haughty nobles she’s used to.
But a life with Khian would mean leaving the court and giving up all that she’s
worked so hard to attain. As she goes about her duties, Tuya struggles with her
heart’s desires.
When Tuya is lured
into a dangerous part of Thebes by her disgraced half-brother and kidnapped by
unknown enemies of Egypt, Khian becomes her only hope. Pharaoh assigns him to
bring the lady home.
Aided by the gods,
Khian races into the desert on the trail of the elusive kidnappers, hoping to
find Tuya before it’s too late. Neither of them has any idea of the dark forces
arrayed against them, nor the obstacles to be faced. An ancient evil from the
long gone past wants to claim Tuya for its own purposes and won’t relinquish
her easily.
Can Khian find her in
time? Will he and his uncanny allies be able to prevent her death? And if the
couple escapes and reaches safety, what of their fledgling romance?
