title: The Curse of the Mummy's Heart
author: Talbot, Julia
description: Douglas Fitzhugh may be a big star in 1920s Hollywood, but he's also a keen explorer with a sharp mind. He and his brother set off to Egypt at the request of their mysterious benefactor, trying to find an archaeologist who might have brought a curse down on himself. On the transatlantic journey, Douglas meets Charles, a young man who yearns for adventure—and love—and is instantly smitten. Charles is on his way to deliver an artifact to his father in the Egyptian desert when he meets the dashing and rather naughty actor, who he can't believe is interested in him. The two begin an affair, but they must face family, an ancient mummy who wants Charles for himself, and a curse as old as Egypt if they wish to be together.
